BCS II Simplex Repeater User Manual

Location and Space

The BCS II Simplex Repeater module occupies one slot in any vertical BCS II chassis or in the Vector chassis. Do not install more than five repeater modules in a BCS II chassis. The Vector Chassis can be fully populated with repeaters. You must install two repeaters to complete the cross-connect, one repeater for each network element.

Tools and Equipment

No special tools or equipment are required. Wear a grounding strap during installation.

Power

–42 Vdc to –58 Vdc power reaches the module through the backplane connector on the chassis. Power to the backplane connector block is delivered from the power distribution panel using 16–22 AWG wire. See the chassis user manual for additional information on power transmis- sion. Because the repeater is an active product, Telect recommends using a dual feed power source.
