E3 Interface 
The E3 interface includes a line interface transceiver, which utilizes HDB3 
encoding and decoding. The E3 interface operates at the 34.368 Mbps data rate. 
The line transceiver recovers clock and data from the incoming signals. The E3 
cable length is user-selectable, and complies with ITU-T G.703 standards. The 
connectors are two shielded BNC connectors with 75Ω impedance. 
T3 Interface 
The T3 interface includes a line interface transceiver, which utilizes B3ZS encoding 
and decoding. The E3 interface operates at the 44.736 Mbps data rate. The line 
transceiver recovers clock and data from the incoming signals. The T3 cable length 
is user-selectable, and complies with ITU-T G.703 standards. The connectors are 
two shielded BNC connectors with 75Ω impedance.
