Chapter 1: Descriptions

1.1 ELF Copper/Fiber System

Telects ELF System is a small edge connection system for use in locations where equipment density maximum
density with simplified monitoring is important. The ELF System is ideal for a 3G, 4G, LTE wireless network at
a base transceiver station (BTS), customer premises, controlled environment vault, co-location, or at any remote
network terminal.

All ELF Systems consists of a chassis, wall brackets, or wall enclosures with DSX-1, DNI, DSX-3,
Fiber, and/or Ethernet/Data modules:

ELF Chassis fit equipment cabinets, 19-in. or 23-in. EIA/WECO racks, or Telects Wall-Mount ELF Chassis
Bracket. Each 1RU (1RU = 1.75 in.) chassis handles up to three, rear- and/or front-access ELF modules.
DSX-1, DSX-3, fiber, and other ELF modules can be mixed in the same chassis.
Single-Module ELF Wall Brackets mount to the walls. Each bracket accommodates one total front-access
ELF module
Single-Module ELF Wall enclosures include a lockable access door. The enclosure mounts to the wall and
accommodates one rear- and/or front-access ELF module. Ideal for a Fiber ELF module.
All chassis, brackets, and enclosures include shield ground pins for ITU G.703 compliance. ELF
modules are passive devices and do not require power. All chassis, enclosure, brackets, and
modules are mainly black.

1.2 ELF Modules

The cover shows a composite of all ELF modules and mounting options.

The following identifies all ELF DSX1, DSX3, fiber, and signal-manager modules offered by Telect, along with
section and page references. Mounting options (chassis and wall mount) are covered in this section.

Typical wall installations are shown in the following illustrations. Telect recommends that the tie bar on the rear
of the ELF Chassis be removed when installing in the Wall-Mount ELF Chassis Bracket. Also, when installing
rear access ELF modules, Telect recommends including a minimum 2-ft (600-mm) service loop for any cabling or
wiring intended for the rear of the ELF module(s). Dont forget to install a ground wire on the ELF Chassis, as
shown on Page 7.

1.4 System-Level Applications

Fiber Optic Splice/Patch Modules: Manage modest fiber count bundles being delivered to base stations in
high-capacity wireless networks.
DSX-3 Modules: Deliver advanced services outward to the edge of the network, whether wireless or wireline.
DSX-1 Modules: Gain industry-leading density and options for T1/E1 signal management at the networks edge.
RJ-TJ Patch Module: In remote HUTs, CEVs, and cabinets, takes T1/Ethernet equipment interface from
inaccessible rear connection to front of equipment rack.
T1 Interconnect RJ45 Modules: Ideal for handoff applications in customer premise environments.

1.5 Installation Considerations

! CAUTION
CAUTION! Only qualified technicians may install and maintain this product.

! ALERT
ALERT! These instructions presume you have verified that the Telect equipment being installed is
compatible with the rest of the system, including power, ground, circuit protection, signal characteristics,
equipment from other vendors, and local codes or ordinances.

1.5.1 Location and Space

The ELF Chassis mounts in a 19 in. or 23 in. equipment rack (EIA or WECO) or inside an equipment cabinet.
On an EIA rack, it takes up one RU of space (1RU = 1.75 in.).
The Wall-Mount ELF Chassis Bracket requires approximately 20 in. (503 mm) by slightly more than 2 in. (52
mm) if a minimum wall footprint is desired. If hugging the wall, reserve approximately 20 in. by 8.25 in. (210
mm) of space.
The ELF Wall Bracket requires approximately 6 in. (155 mm) by approximately 2 in. (45 mm) or 4 in. (102
mm) of wall space, depending on mounting orientation.
The ELF Wall-Mount Enclosure requires approximately 10 in. (255 mm) by approximately 7 in. (180 mm) of
wall space.

1.5.2 Tools and Equipment

common hand tools

wire-wrap tools for pinfields
a chassis ground wire14 AWG minimum with ring terminal

Chapter 2: ELF DS1 Modules

Telect offers five DSX-1 and two DNI-1 ELF Modules:
All three ELF DSX-1 8-Termination Modules feature network element RJ45, BNC, or wirewrap connections on
the rear and Telects Bantam patch/monitor jacks and wire-wrap crossconnections on the front.
Both ELF DSX-1 6-Termination Modules are total front access modules. Wire-wrap network element, wire-wrap
cross-connections, and Bantam patch/monitor jacks are all on the front.
Both ELF DNI-1 4-Circuit Modules contain RJ48C termination on the front along with 4 sets of Bantam
patch/monitor jacks for the NE interconnections. One DNI-1 module is total front access with all Bantam
interconnections between RJ48C NE-1/NE-2 terminations; the other module interconnects four NE-2 RJ48C
termination on the front with wire-wrapped NE-1 termination on the rear.

2.1 ELF 8-Termination DSX-1, Wire-Wrap I/O (Model ELF-1008-1100)

Eight-circuit network element I/O wire-wrap pinfield on the rear and corresponding cross-connect pinfield and
Bantam-style patch and monitor jacks on the front. Both pinfields provide individual shield grounds for each set of
jacks. Screws for mounting module to an ELF chassis or lockable wall-mount enclosure are included.

Chapter 3: ELF DS3 Modules

Telect offers two DSX-3 ELF Modules. Both feature 6-port mini-WECOs for temporary I/O and cross-connect
patching, testing, and monitoring, along with BNC connectors for normal NE I/O and cross-connections:

ELF 2-Termination DSX-3 (Model ELF-3206-1200) has the NE BNCs on the rear, and
ELF 1-Termination DSX-3 (Model ELF-3206-1900) is total front access (TFA).
Both modules fit the ELF chassis and Lockable Wall-Mount Enclosure. Mounting screws for
installing on the chassis or enclosure are included.

Chapter 4: ELF Fiber Modules

Telect manufactures two Fiber ELF platforms for patching, and patching with splicing:
ELF Fiber Patch (Models ELF-PC12-SC00, ELF-PC12-FC00, ELF-PC12-SA00, and ELF-PC24-LC00)
ELF Fiber Splice/Patch (Models ELF-SP12-SCPT, ELF-SP12-FCPT, and ELF-SP12-SAPT)
All modules are available with either 12, SC/UPC, FC/UPC, SC/APC, or 24 LC/APC adapters. All modules fit the
ELF chassis and lockable wall-mount enclosure. Mounting screws for installing on the chassis or enclosure are
included. Telect supplies dust covers for all open fiber adapters.

Chapter 5: ELF Multi-Purpose Modules

Telect manufactures three multi-purpose signal manager modules for RJ45C and pin-block signals.
All signal manager modules are straight feed-through:

The ELF RJ45C to RJ45C Patch Module (Model ELF-9716-1900) contains 16 RJ45C connectors on the rear
which interconnect with 16 RJ45C connectors on the front. The module fits the ELF chassis and lockable
wall-mount enclosure.
The ELF RJ45 to IDC Patch Module (Model ELF-9716-1700) contains 16 RJ45 connectors on the front which
interconnect to T568A-coded IDC punch-down blocks for 100-Ohm cable on the rear. The module fits the ELF
chassis and lockable wall-mount enclosure.
The ELF 12 x 4 Alarm Pin Block Module (Model ELF-0005-0001) is a bulkhead pin block primarily intended for
interconnecting alarm signals. ELF-0005-0001 fits the ELF chassis, the wall-mount bracket, and the lockable-
wall-mount enclosure.
Mounting screws for installing on the chassis, bracket, or enclosure are included.
