1.2 Description
The UB-54 is a standard one unit (1U) rack-mountable chassis.
The unit consists of a printed circuit board and connectors. The connectors are located at
the front and rear panels. Refer to Chapter 2 for connector specifications.
The UB-54 consists of the following assemblies:
Assembly Part #
Chassis AS/5986
Printed Circuit Board AS/6027
Note:
The electrical specifications for the UB-54 meet or exceed the electrical
requirements of the interfacing modem.
Refer to Figure 1-2 for a schematic illustration of the breakout panel.
One UB-54 breakout panel can be used with a multiplexer or a demultiplexer,
but not both at the same time.
4. (Used with a Multiplexer only) Connect breakout panel to the SDM-300 Satellite
Modem using a 100-pin ribbon cable conforming to Table 2-12, (Comtech
EFData Part No. CA/90101G100-3 or equivalent) as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2. UB-54 to SDM-300 Interconnection Diagram
5. (Used with DEMUX only) Connect the breakout panel to the SDR-54
Demodulator using three standard 25-pin interface cables conforming to Tables
2-13, 2-14, and 2-15 as shown in Figure 2-3.
