2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton 460R Series G.703 balun panels match multiple sets of
dual 75 ohm coax connections to multiple 120 ohm twisted pair
connections. This function allows carriers to provide 120 ohm G.703
service to customers retaining 75 ohm CPE hardware. It also allows
carriers who have standardized on 75 ohm coax to provide 120 ohm
terminations to their customers (in keeping with European ONP
requirements).
Supporting E1 data rates to 2.048 Mbps, the Patton 460-R Series
panels bi-directionally match, not only signal impedance, but also the
pulse shapes of the signals according to the CCITT G.703 standard.
The Patton 460-R Series G.703 balun panels mount in a standard 19”
(48.3 cm) rack, and are available with either 1 to 16 modules per rack.

3.1.1 Jumper Straps JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4, and JP7
3.0 CONFIGURATION
Each Model 460RC/F Module is equipped with four jumpers that
you may use to configure several grounding options. This section
shows the jumper locations and describes their functions.
3.1 SETTING THE JUMPER STRAPS
There are five configuration jumpers on the back side of the Model
460RC/F printed circuit board. These jumpers are labeled below and
on the PC board as “JP1”, “JP2”, “JP3”, “JP4”, and “JP7”. Figure 1,
below, shows their positions on the pc board as well as the relative pin
numbers on the jumpers.
Figure 2 (below) shows the orientation of the rear interface card
straps. Observe that the strap can either be on posts 1 and 2, or on
posts 2 and 3.

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 460RC16 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 460RC/F Series cards
into the chassis, and how to connect to the twisted pair interface and
the serial interface.
4.1 THE MODEL 460R16 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 460R16 Rack Chassis (Figure 3, below) can
accomodate up to 16 G.703 75 Ohm coax to 120 Ohm RJ-45 baluns.
Measuring only 3.5” high, the Model 460R16 is designed to occupy only
2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Model 460R16 to be
extracted and transported conveniently.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 460RC/F MODULE INTO THE
CHASSIS
The Model 460RC16 comprised of a 2U high rack chassis and
individually mountable G.703 balun modules. You may purchase a fully
populated 16 port rack or you may purchase individual modules. Refer
to Figure 4 as a guide and follow the steps below to install each Model
additional 460RC/F module into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the two star washers over the screws on each end of the
mount space.
2. Slide the Model 460RC/F pc board over the screws with the
BNC connectors facing downward. Then push the BNC
connectors and RJ-45 connector through the matching slots in
the front of the rack assembly.
3. Slide a plastic spacer over each screw to secure the pc board.
In the default “Connected” setting, the 75 Ohm receive in coaxial
shield connects to RJ-45 pin 6, the receive pair shield.
JP3 Setting Description

overall foil shield
Position 2 & 3 Not Connected 75 Ohm RX shield not
connected to the RJ-45
overall foil shield
Jumper JP4: 75 Ohm RX Shield to 120 Ohm Rx Pair Shield (Pin 6)
In the default “Connected” setting, the 75 Ohm coaxial shield
connects to the RJ-45 overall foil shield.
JP4 Setting Description
Position 1 & 2 Not Connected 75 Ohm RX shield not
connected to the RJ-45
RX pair shield (Pin 6)
Position 2 & 3 Connected 75 Ohm RX shield

RX pair shield (Pin 6)
Jumper JP7: RJ-45 Shield to Chassis Ground
In the default “Connected” setting, the RJ-45 overall shield
connects to chassis ground.
JP7 Setting Description
Position 1 & 2 Connected RJ-45 shield connects
to Frame Ground.
Position 2 & 3 Not Connected RJ-45 shield does not
