2-4. E3 Link Connections 
Interface Connector Type Note 
Optical  LC or SC/APC  Avoid sharp bends of the optical cables. The 
minimum-bending radius should be 30 mm (1.2 in). 
Cleanliness of the optical connectors: use an 
approved solvent, and dry thoroughly using optical 
tissue. 
Connection of the receive cable to the optical 
connector designated RX and the transmit cable to 
the optical connector designated TX. 
Electrical  SMB-BNC  Use the CBL-SMB-BNC/M adapter cable for 
connecting to the regular BNC connectors 
Connecting to Alarm Relay 
The alarm cable is terminated with a 9-pin D-type male connector on the unit 
side. The maximum rating of the alarm relay contacts for planning the monitoring 
means and cabling is 1A, 60 VDC or 30 VAC. 
The dry contacts of the Optimux-34 alarm relays (major and minor) are connected 
to a remote monitoring site via the front panel ALARM connector. 
Connecting to Management Station 
The Optimux-34 can be managed via: 
•  V.24/RS-232 terminal. The connection cable to the V.24/RS-232 interface on 
the unit’s front panel should be terminated with a 9-pin D-type male 
connector. The nominal length of the cable for a data rate of 19.2 kbps is 
16m (50 ft). 
Terminal cables must have a frame ground connection. Use ungrounded cables 
when connecting a supervisory terminal to a DC-powered unit with floating 
ground. Using improper terminal cable may result in damage to supervisory 
terminal port. 
•  Ethernet port. The connection cable to the MNG-ETH interface on the unit’s 
front panel should be terminated with an RJ-45 connector. 
The Ethernet cable should be straight (i.e., TX on pins 1,2 and RX on pins 3,6.) 
There is no crossover at the PHY. 
Connect the management cable to the required management port. The options 
available are indicated in
