Attaching Cables

Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the output
boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Enova DGX 8/16 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located between the
input and output boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each board from the top board
to the bottom one; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 32 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located on the
numbering plate (metal strip) directly above the boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from top to bottom
on each board from the left board to right one; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same pattern.
Instructions for attaching cable management bars are on page 35. These bars are recommended and provided with
each DGX SC Optical Board.
Caution: Do not severely bend or kink the SC fiber cable. Irreversible damage can occur. Refer to the
physical limitations (bend radius) specified for the cable. The bend radius for AMX SC terminated fiber cables
is 2 inches (5 cm).

Be sure to apply the power only after all fiber connections are made and no fiber ends are exposed.
Do not remove dust plugs from Epica SC fiber connectors or the dust caps from the fiber cables until
establishing connections; avoid direct eye exposure.
Make sure all cables, including fiber cables, are correctly connected and/or terminated.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an input board, disconnect the power on the DGX TX that is
connected to the input.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an output board, disconnect the switch for that output connector.
Make sure that no dust or debris is on the exposed ends of the fiber cable.
Make sure that the fiber cable connectors seat firmly into the board and module fiber connectors.
(Normally an audible click is heard when a connector engages.)
