Cabling
Cabling
Cabling to the 8943RDA and 8943RDA-D is done on the BNCs on the
89003E-R rear module. Cabling for the 8943RDA-DFR module is done on
the BNCs and optional fiber inputs and outputs as described in these sec-
tions:
• 8943RDA Module Cabling on page 22
• 8943RDA-D Module Cabling on page 23
• 8943RDA-DFR Module Cabling on page 24
Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement
Before making any fiber optic cable mating connections (including sub-
module installation) and after every de-mating cycle, use an industry stan-
dard fiber optic cleaning kit, including oil-free compressed air, to clean the
fiber connectors and the connectorized fiber end faces. This helps ensure
optimum performance of the fiber optic interface. Industry standard fiber
optic cleaning kits can be purchased on the web and in electronics stores.
Video Input(s)
The 8943RDA modules will accept any of the SD/HD/3G- SDI video and
DVB ASI standards listed in the input specifications in
Table 10 on page 82 .
For the 8943RDA-DFR, the video input(s) to the module can be selected
from the following four sources, depending on the presence and type of
fiber optic submodule option installed:
• Electrical BNC J10 and BNC J8 (BNC J8 8943RDA-DFR only),
• Fiber RX 2 (when dual receiver or transceiver submodule is installed),
or
• Fiber Input RX 1 or RX 2 (with dual receiver submodule installed).
All input sources can be connected and active at the same time. Each active
input must be mapped to the desired output pair(s). Video input to video
output pair mapping is done in configuration using the local onboard con-
trols, Settings web page, or Newton control panel (
page 28 ).
