Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Artel Video Systems FiberLink Rackmountable Card Cage. The
Model 6000A card cage is a rack-mountable enclosure designed to accommodate up to 20
single-width plug-in FiberLink transmission modules (or cards). Measuring 19 inches wide
by 5 1/4 inches high, this unit may be used with either a model 6010 universal switching

positions.
This card cage is certied to meet the safety and EMI requirements of most regulatory
agencies in the US, Canada and abroad.

Installation Instructions
1. The Model 6000A card cage may be mounted in a standard EIA 19 inch rack frame.
When possible, allow at least 1 to 2 inches of clearance from other equipment for
proper ventilation.
2. If the card cage is to be used with the Model 6010A universal switching power supply,
plug the power supply into the card cage in the position desired. If redundant operation is desired, plug in any additional power supplies as well.
3. Plug a suitable line cord into the rear IEC power connector of each Model 6010A
power supply being used.
4. If the Model 6000A is to be used with external power, a +10 to +12 volt DC source is
recommended. External power sources must provide any necessary protective fuses
or circuit breakers. Connect the external source to the terminal block on the rear of
the card cage as follows:
Position 1 DC Return
Position 2 +10 to +12 VDC @ at up to 10 amperes (as required)
Position 3 Case Ground (Normally isolated from position 1)
Note that a separate ground stud is provided for use when a direct connection to
the card cage frame is desired.
If using an external power supply, do not exceed an input of 14 Volts DC or
allow more than 10 amperes to ow into the card cage. Doing so may
damage the product modules.
5. Plug any desired FiberLink transmission modules into any free positions.
6. Make all optical and signal connections at the rear of the card cage.
7. If a Model 6010A universal switching power supply is being used, use the front panel
switch to turn on the power. The power indicator LED will illuminate when power is
present. If an external power source is being used, use the controls on that source to
turn power on and o.
