The 75-ohm and 120-ohm clock cables are available.
The OptiX OSN 9560 supports input and output of 75-ohm and 120-ohm clock signals. However, 75/120-ohm clock transit cables
are required if an OptiX OSN 9560 traces clock signals from a 75-ohm port because STI boards on the OptiX OSN 9560 provide
only 120-ohm RJ45 connectors.
The OptiX OSN 9560 uses 120-ohm clock cables by default. If an OptiX OSN 9560 connects to an OptiX OSN 3500, use 120-ohm
clock cables to connect them. Clock cables between subracks can be made using network cables on site.
The 120-ohm clock cables must be shielded wires without cable sheaths.
