1.3  Functional Description 
Printed Circuit Boards 
Optimux-106 contains the following printed circuit boards: 
•  Main board, including one tributary interface (with 4 RJ-45 connectors) 
•  One or two uplink interface boards (A and B) 
•  USER Ethernet port up to 75 Mbps 
•  One or two power supplies (A and B): 
AC/DC wide-range power supply (100-240 VAC or -40 to -72 VDC) 
Uplink Interface Characteristics 
The fiber optic interface provides a secure link in hazardous or hostile 
environments, increasing the maximum connection range, and achieving immunity 
against electrical interference and protection against the harmful effects of 
ground loops. The fiber optic uplink interface complies with the requirements of 
ITU-T Rec. G.955, and uses a proprietary signaling format that ensures optimum 
performance. To optimally meet a wide range of system requirements, the fiber 
optic interface can be ordered for operation over 62.5/125 micron multimode 
fibers (typical attenuation 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm), as well as over low-loss 9/125 
micron single mode fibers (typical attenuation 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm, and 
0.25 dB/km at 1550 nm). 
The fiber optic interface is hot swappable, allowing for quick and easy 
replacement in the field.
