Page 4: Overview
BC860 versions – PCB revisions BC860 PCBs were updated from Issue 1 to Issue 2 in Q4 2015: cards fitted with Issue 1 PCBs were shipped before this date, and Issue 2 PCBs were fitted to cards until Q4 2016, when they were in turn superseded by Issue 3 PCBs. -
Page 5: Physical Formats
Physical formats BC860 cards fit the Bluebell BC100 or BC160 19” modular frames. The frames can house six (BC160) or fifteen (BC100) BC Series cards, and are fitted with dual internal AC power supplies. Alternatively, cards may be fitted into smaller aluminium chassis; the BC101 and BC102 hold one and two cards respectively and require an external DC power source, while the BC120 holds three cards and has an integral mains PSU. -

• 0 = 100Base-FX (100 Mbps) • 1 = 1000Base-X (1 Gbps) All other switch positions are unused. When a pair of BC860 cards are used to form a fibre link, the OPTIONS switch on each must be set to the same position. - Page 7 14. 1000 – green LED, illuminates to confirm detection of 1 Gbps signal at the copper (RJ45) interface. 15. 100 – green LED, illuminates to confirm detection of 100 Mbps signal at the copper (RJ45) interface. 16. 10 - green LED, illuminates to confirm detection of 10 Mbps signal at the copper (RJ45) interface.

System block diagrams BC860 cards fitted with dual fibre interfaces transmit and receive on separate fibres. The standard singlemode fibre SFP cartridge transmits at 1310 nm; the receivers are wideband. Copper Twisted Pair to Optical Media Optical Media Interface Ethernet... -
Page 9: External Monitoring
External monitoring All cards in the Bluebell modular range can report their status to the frame in which they are housed. The frame’s LEDs - two per card - will confirm correct operation (or otherwise), and if the optional BM101/102 SNMP/Ethernet interface card is fitted, remote monitoring of cards is also available. -

Page 14: Sfp Options
SFP Options The functionality of the BC860 is partly dependent on which type SFP cartridge is fitted to the carrier. Your card will be supplied with the cartridge that was specified at the time of ordering already factory-fitted; if no cartridge was specified, the carrier will be empty for users to fit a cartridge of their choice.
