33 The TXS/RXS 8:1 Fiber Redundancy System provides the routing mechanism for substituting a backup fiber link for any one of eight main fiber links. The TXS Transmit Router provides eight 2-way splitters and a single 8x1 router in a common 3 RU enclosure. One output of each 2-way splitter is accessible through a rear panel mounted F type connector to feed fiber optic transmitters. The other output of each 2-way splitter is connected to the input of the 8x1 router. The router output feeds a backup fiber optic transmitter. The RXS Receiver Router provides eight RF Sensing Switches and a single 1x8 zero loss switch in a single 3RU enclosure. Each of the RF Sensing Switches utilizes a DPDT relay to switch either the primary or the secondary signal input to the output. The signal is coupled from the primary input, filtered, amplified, and detected to operate the relay. When the input level is above a preset threshold, which is adjustable via the front panel, the relay coil is de-energized and the primary signal path is selected. If the signal falls below the preset threshold, the relay coil is energized and the secondary signal path is selected. Under a no power condition, the unit will default to the primary position. The outputs of the optical receivers in the primary fiber links are connected to the primary inputs of the sensing switches via rear panel mounted F connectors. The outputs of the sensing switches are accessed via rear panel mounted F connectors. The output of the optical receiver from the standby optical link is connected to the TXS/RXS Series 8:1 Fiber Link Redundancy Systems The TXS/RXS System provides fiber optic redundancy on an 8 to 1 scale - Redundancy for 1/8th the cost RF Detection Level is adjustable via front panel keypad & LCD Primary paths are prioritized. In the event of a multiple link failure, the most critical path is maintained If multiple paths fail, the path with the highest priority will be assigned the backup path. Ports are prioritized numerically from 1-8, i.e., if ports 2 and 3 were lost simultaneously, port 2 would switch to the backup link, etc. All other paths in backup mode are referred to as failed and are identifiable via front panel LCD display SNMP traps provide alarm status when system is in backup mode Input/Output Naming: 7-character alpha-numeric naming of inputs and outputs for easy reference Rear panel mounted RJ45 connector provides an Ethernet port for the M&C monitoring of the switch position Redundant power provided via dual AC inputs and dual internal PSUs input of the 1x8 switch via a rear panel mounted F connector labeled RX Backup. The outputs of the 8x1 switch are connected to the secondary inputs of the sensing switches. In the event the primary optical link fails, the RXS will automatically switch the backup optical link to replace the failed primary optical link. The RXS will send a control signal to the TXS via RS-422 and route the input of the failed primary optical link to the standby optical link.

37 Calculated signal level for combined multiple inputs Number of Inputs Input Levels (dbm) The above chart calculates the combined signal levels, minus the combiner insertion loss at the output of a passive combiner. It may also be used to determine maximum inputs levels so as not to exceed the P1dB of the output amplifier on an active combiners. Combiner output equals the input level plus 10 times the log of the number of inputs. For the purpose of these calculations, the assumption is that all input levels are equal. In reality, this is seldom the case. To assist with overall link budget calculations, use the highest anticipated input level as the point of reference. This will assure not exceeding the P1dB of the active combiner components. On passive combiners, also take into consideration the insertion loss of the combiner from the published spec sheet(s).
