Coax (BNC) to Fiber
Transition Networks SCSCF30xx-10x series
Devices encode and decode DS3 or E3 coax
copper signals over fiber optic cable to extend
the distance and transmission reliability of high-
speed DS3 or E3 data traffic. The SCSCF30xx-
10x also connects remote locations via T3/E3
cable.

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when setting the jumper. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and
subsequent failure of, the Device.
Install the Coax Cable
1. Locate or build coax cables with female connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the coax cables to the Device as described:
•
•
Connect the female TX cable connector to the male TX port.

Set the Coax Grounding Jumpers
Note: Modify the settings for J11 and J12 only if necessary.
3. Connect the coax cables to the other device (switch, workstation, etc.) as
described:
Jumpers 11 and 12 (located on the circuit board near the coax ports) provide a
grounding feature so that the SCSCF30xx-10x Device complies with the G.703
specification where:
•
•
Connect the female TX cable connector to the male RX port.
Connect the female RX cable connector to the male TX port.
•
•
The output coax port is connected to chassis ground.
A provision to connect the input coax port to chassis ground is provided.

FCC Regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at the user's own expense.
Canadian Regulations
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set
out on the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
