Cabling for the 9215-EO-EM
This section provides information for connecting cables to the installed Rear Modules on the 8321s.
Connect the input and output cables according to the following sections.
The 9215-EO-EM accommodates eight synchronous AES input streams at 48kHz or any asynchronous
AES streams from 32kHz to 96kHz with SRC enabled. Note that SRC should only be used with Pulse
Code Modulation (PCM) digital audio and not any form of compressed signal, such as Dolby®.
The optical connector used to mate the card to the rear module is designed for blind mate optical
connectors. All fiber interfaces are single mode fibers.
Notice — Every time you are required to insert a connector into a device or mating
sleeve, you must clean the connector. All exposed surfaces of the ceramic ferrule must
be clean. Follow your facility practices of cleaning fiber optic connectors.
Connectors must always be inserted into a device or have a dust cap on.
20-Slot Frame Cabling Overview
In the 20-slot frame, the 9215-EO-EM is used with the RM20-9215-B Full Rear Module. Each card
occupies two slots and provides one SDI input, one SDI output, one fiber output, and eight unbalanced
AES inputs. (Figure 2.4 )
