IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated, dangerous voltage
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (i.e.: servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
•Read these instructions.
•Keep these instructions.
•Heed all warnings.
•Follow all instructions.
•Don’t use this apparatus near water.
•Clean only with a dry cloth.
•Don’t block any ventilation openings.
•Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Don’t install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatuses
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
•Don’t defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the plug provided does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
•Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms, or when unused for long periods of time.
•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power-supply cord or plug, contact with liquid
(or any object small enough to enter the apparatus), exposure to rain or moisture, drop damage, or
upon experiencing any abnormal operation.

3505 Frame Manual
3505FR Series Fiber Optic SFP Frame
OVERVIEW Revision 1.2 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The Evertz 3505FR Series SFP frame is the ideal solution for today's low cost, high density fiber
optic/X-LINK distribution needs. The 3505FR Series provides the flexibility to handle the high-speed
requirements of 3G and HDTV as well as SD-SDI, SDTi, and DVB-ASI.
All components are hot swappable through the front of the frame including SFP's, frame controllers,
multiplexers, and power converters. This ensures the unit can be fully serviceable in the field without
having to be de-cabled or removed from the customers rack.
The 3505FR Series is a 2RU frame designed to house up to 64 Evertz® SFP modules. This provides
up to 128 EO or OE in two rack units of space. The frame can be configured for a mixture of transmit,
receive and distribution modules.
The unit supports extraction of the SFP modules from the front without compromising performance. The
frame can be configured for a variety of modules. The 3505FR frame is available in four versions as
shown in Table 1-1.
Model Description Connector Density
3505FR-32-BNC4 Fiber Optic SFP BNC Frame BNC Up to 64
EO, OE, or mixture of
EO and OE in a 2RU unit
3505FR-64-BNC2 Fiber Optic SFP BNC Frame BNC Up to 128

Frame X-LINK Up to 128 EO or 128 OE X-LINK conversions in a 1RU unit
Table 1-1: Frame Versions
Features:
•Dual Power supplies (primary and redundant) and conversion trays (front extractable)
•Houses up to 64 front loading Evertz SFP modules
•Each slot can be used as an input or an output based on SFP type
•Dual primary & secondary 3505FC Frame Controllers for full VistaLINK®SNMP control and
monitoring
•No electrical re-cabling required when hot swapping modules
•The industry’s highest density optical conversion platform with up to 128 EO or 128 OE or ( for
any combination thereof) in 2RU

INSTALLATION Revision 1.2 Page - 7
2. INSTALLATION
The 3505FR Series frames require 3 rack units (i.e. 3.5 inches (90 mm) of standard 19 inch (483 mm)
wide rack space). To firmly fasten the frame to the equipment rack, make sure that all four mounting
screws are securely tightened.
2.1. CONNECTING THE POWER
The frames come standard with one auto-ranging power supply that automatically senses the input
voltage over the range of 100 to 240 VAC. An additional power supply can be ordered to provide fully
redundant powering of the frame. When only one power supply is fitted, the frame will be fitted with the
appropriate fan module (3505FM Fan Module) to ensure the thermal integrity of the frame cooling.
Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply cord to the power entry
module on the rear panel of each power supply. The power cord should be minimum 18 AWG wire
size; type SVT marked VW-1, maximum 2.5 m in length.
CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EARTHING OF THE
EARTH PIN OF THE MAINS PLUG MUST BE MAINTAINED
The power entry modules contain a standard IEC power inlet connector and an EMI line filter. A
separate fuse holder is provided for each AC input. The fuse holder is located on each side the front
panel of the frame.
See section 2.8 for information on changing the fuses.
Fuse Rating: 4 amps, 250 Volt time delay 5 x 20 mm
If there is a fuse failure, contact Evertz customer service regarding the power
supply immediately. The power supplies are short circuit protected and
should not blow the fuse under a short circuit condition.

2.2. POWER SUPPLY STATUS INDICATORS
The 3505PS power supply tray has 2 status indicator LEDs. The green status indicator LED indicates
fault free operation of the PS unit. The red status indicator LED indicates a faulty 3505PS unit.
