E1-75/120 Impedance Conversion Panel Description

E1-75/120 Impedance Conversion Panel Description

The ONS 15454 SDH E1-75/120 impedance conversion panel provides front mount electrical
connection for 42 ITU-compliant, G.703 E-1 ports. It contains 84 1.0/2.3 miniature coaxial connectors
(42 for transmit, 42 for receive) to the client side and two 96-pin Molex type connectors to the FMEC
120-ohm side. Each of the 96-pin Molex type connectors connects 21 inputs and 21 outputs.
Transformers in the E1-75/120 conversion panel improve decoupling from DC voltages and
overvoltages. The E1-75/120 conversion panel is intended to be used in DDFs (digital distribution
frames), ETSI racks, and ANSI racks. If you want to use the E1-75/120 conversion panel in a rack other
than ETSI, remove the ETSI rackmount brackets shipped with the E1-75/120 and use the optional
19-inch/23-inch mounting bracket.

With the E1-75/120 conversion panel, each E1-42 port operates at 2.048 Mbps over a 75-ohm unbalanced
coaxial 1.0/2.3 miniature coaxial connector. Figure 1 shows the E1-75/120 faceplate.

E1-75/120 Impedance Conversion Panel Description

You can install the E1-75/120 conversion panel in the ANSI or ETSI rack containing the
ONS 15454 SDH shelf or in a nearby rack. If you install the E1-75/120 conversion panel where a longer
cable is required, make sure that the total cable loss of the balanced 120-ohm cable and the unbalanced
75-ohm cable does not exceed the maximum allowed value. The E1-75/120 conversion panel enables the
use of 75-ohm interfaces on the client side with the E1-42 card that has 120-ohm interfaces.

Before you can install the E1-75/120 in the rack, install the type of rackmount brackets that is required
for the rack that you are using. Figure 2 shows an ETSI rackmount bracket and a 19-inch/23-inch
rackmount bracket. To install the E1-75 in a 23-inch rack, use the 19-inch/23-inch rackmount brackets
perpendicularly.
