The ComNet™ FDXT1/E1 data transceivers are T1/E1 links that support AMI
and B8ZS data signals over one single mode or multimode optical fiber. The
transceivers synchronize and regenerate data to eliminate jitter accumulated
through the link. Models within this series are available for use with multimode
or single mode optical fiber. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation
requiring no electrical or optical adjustments.
Each transceiver incorporates a bi-color (Red/Green) indicating LED for monitoring
proper system operation. See Figure 6 on Page 5 for an explanation of LED
indications.
The FDXT1/E1 standard size units may be either wall or rack-mounted in a
ComNet card cage, or may be installed in an IFS R3 rack with the selection of the
corresponding model. See Figure A on Page 5 for mounting instructions.
See Figures 1 – 6 for complete installation details.
Please note that the FDXT1/E1/R3 IFS-compatible units support T1 links only.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The ComFit unit fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module.
Units should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of
temperature and humidity.
The R3 IFS-Compatible unit fiber-optic link is supplied as a Rack module only,
and should only be used in the IFS R3 rack. Units should be installed in dry
locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed
without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends that the power
supply be turned off and that the rack power supply is disconnected from
any power source. Note: Remove electrical connector before installing in
card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into the card
guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back of the card seats in
the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating may require
thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front panel.
CAUTION:Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the card
is seated against the front of the rack.

WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
