8 G.703 ADAPTERS AND BALUN MATE II 2. Intr oduction The G.703 Adapters and the Balun Mate II enable 75-ohm coaxial G.703 equipment/networks to communicate with 120-ohm twisted-pair G.
9 CHAPTER 2: Introduction The Balun Mate II (MT257A) is designed to be mounted in a 19" rack. It contains sixteen individual port-card modules, each of which has a pair of female coaxial connectors for existing cables. The coaxial connectors on all of these models are the 1.
10 G.703 ADAPTERS AND BALUN MATE II • Interface-powered—no AC or battery power required. • Adapters are housed in low-profile, flame- retardant enclosures with either male or female coaxial connectors. • Balun Mate II can be mounted in 2U of vertical space in a 19" rack and can patch as many as sixteen terminations.

12 G.703 ADAPTERS AND BALUN MATE II 3. Configuration The G.703 Adapters and the Balun Mate II have only one user-settable configuration option. They express Transmit Data (TX) shield to the twisted-pair cabling on RJ-45 Pin 3 and Receive Data (RX) Shield on RJ-45 Pin 6.
13 CHAPTER 3: Configuration installed settings, JP1 links RJ-45 Pin 3 to the coax TX shield, while JP2 links RJ-45 Pin 6 to the coax RX shield. To remove these jumpers in order to break these links, you’ll need to open the case of your Adapter or temporarily remove each port-card module from your Balun Mate II.
14 G.703 ADAPTERS AND BALUN MATE II 3. Looking down at the top of the circuit board with the RJ-45 jack facing to the left, you should be able to see both jumpers in the middle of the board: JP1 toward the back and JP2 toward the front.
15 CHAPTER 4: Installation and Operation 4. Installation and Operation To connect a G.703 Adapter or Balun Mate II to your G.703 devices and/or networks, take these steps: 1. If you are using an MT255A-M Adapter, connect its coaxial pigtails to your device’s coaxial G.
16 G.703 ADAPTERS AND BALUN MATE II As soon as you connect the Adapter or Balun Mate II to a working G.703 device/network on both the coaxial and twisted-pair sides, it will begin operating immediately, drawing power from the interfaces and translating between them.
17 CHAPTER 5: Troubleshooting 5. T r oubleshooting 5.1 Calling Black Box If your G.703 Adapter or Balun Mate II seems to be malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or repair it .
