RF over Fibre
LGC do NOT convert the RF into digital
The RF is modulated onto the light
Use SC/APC (commonly green plastic)
just one normal(blue) connector will give reflections (noise), and give alarm
3dB maximum optical loss, without degrading the output
1,5 km MMF (Multi Mode Fibre 62.5µm/125µm) (8 / 50m is supported)
6 km SMF (Single Mode Fibre) Corning SMF-28 or equivalent recommended for new installations
Typical losses

One good patch connection is max 0,4 dB

CAT5 cable
CAT-5
This means CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6 etc
Can be UTP or ScTP (Screened twisted pair)
Test connectors, crimping quality important
Connector, cable, crimp tool MUST match !
Cable types - Mohawk/CDT 55986, Belden 1624P Data Twist, or equivalent
32
CAT5 cable lengths and losses
The LGC system internally takes care of the CAT5 losses, within limits.
The CAT must comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B Category 6 Transmission Performance Specifications for all category cabling.
Lengths
• Maximum 100m for full performance (110m with 2dB degradation)
• Minimum 10m (or MH will give “overdrive” alarm, flashing LED)
• Up to 150m but with degradation (8dB)
• DC resistance is 0,08 Ohm/meter
CAT 5 Extender
• Extends CAT5 run to 170m at full performance
33
CAT5 signals
LGC makes the CAT5 work very hard!
34
The Passive path
The RAU output is a 50 ohm, coaxial connection.
Extending the reach:
1. Use coax after the RAU and the 170m of CAT5 cable to go further if needed
2. Add a splitter to the RAU output and feed two or more antennas

What is the ACCEL product concept?
- A DAS for small to medium systems
The concept:
Combine the Unison Main Hub and Expansion Hub into a single unit with 8 (or 4) ports
Retain the same Unison performance and alarming capabilities
Use the existing Unison RAUs
Provide the unit at a reduced cost

Network Interface Unit (NIU) (for Unison)
89
Network Interface Unit (NIU)
The NIU is essentially a protocol converter. It takes the LGC proprietary Command Line Interface and converts it to SNMP traps
The NIU comes in two flavors.
A 4-Port version that can support four Unison MHs or three Unison MHs and a analog modem
A 10-Port version that can support 10 Unison MHs or 9 Unison MHs and a modem
For systems that have more than 10 Unison MHs the NIU can be networked with other NIUs
90
Network Interface Unit (continued)
To help with legacy, non-SNMP devices, the NIU currently supports 20 contact closures, normally open or normally closed, with additional contact support soon to be available. The contacts are fully supported by LGC’s SNMP MIB
Supports SNMPc v1,v2,v3
Daily Keep Alive (or more frequent)
AdminManager works remotely via the NIU connection
91
NIU connectivity
RS232 to LGC Hubs
Routable Public Static IP back to NMC
Connectivity
Riding on a packet switched cellular service requires a static IP address (routable) or dynamic DNS features
POTS connectivity requires an inexpensive, dial-up ISP account.
Broadband connectivity requires a static, routable IP address
