2.2.5. EQX-OP36-XLINK
EQX-OP36-XLINK output module is used to provide X-LINK outputs from the EQX routers both 16RU
and 26RU by providing X-LINK from a router output slot, as compared to the EQX-OP288-XLINK
module that provides X-LINK outputs without using all of the output slots in the router. The EQX-OP36-
XLINK provides a single X-LINK output plus 4 BNC outputs. It utilizes one output slot in the EQX and
must be paired with a second EQX-OP36-XLINK output board as a single rear plate is shared between
two output modules. Also, please note for this card can provide a total of 36 outputs from the EQX
router, both the primary cross point for the output module and the redundant output module must be
used.
"
When using the EQX-OP36-XLINK output module, cross point redundancy is not
possible for the card and for the output card positioned in the router below it.
