BCS II SIMPLEX REPEATER
The Broadband Connectivity System II (BCS II) Simplex Repeater (part
# 710-3201-0002) regenerates DS3, E3, and STS-1 signals to allow in-
creased separation of network elements and provides full DSX function-
ality. The module installs in any vertical BCS II chassis or in the Vector
chassis and is always installed in pairs.
Features
• Full signal regeneration to equal level point on each circuit
• Mini-WECO monitor and I/O jacks
• Alarm and tracer lamp LEDs
• Full DSX functionality, including patching, monitoring and loop-
backs

System-Level Application
The simplex repeater regenerates DS3, E3, and STS-1 signals to equal
level point over a distance of up to 900 ft (using RG-59/734 cable). Two
repeaters are required to regenerate both the send and receive sig-
nals and complete the cross-connect.
The repeater regenerates the signal that appears on the IX port and trans-
mits it out the I port for a length dependent upon the type of cable used.
See the installation section to set the module jumpers based on cable
length.
The OX and O ports are passive; therefore, a second repeater is required
to regenerate and transmit the signal in the other direction. Each net-
work element can be located up to 900 ft from the far end repeater’s IX
port.
