Chapter 1: Descriptions
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.
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.

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.
! 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.
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.
Use listed components (UL-recognized, CSA, ETL, TUV agency) and crimping tools.
1.5.3 Inspection

Contact Technical Support (USA):
By e-mail: [email protected]
By phone: 888-821-4856 or 509-921-6161
Contact your Telect equipment distributor, or call a Telect Customer Service Representative:
1-509-926-6000
Telect will repair or replace defective products within the limits of the warranty. See Repacking for Shipment in
this section.
Call a Customer Service Representative for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) before returning any equipment.
The procedure for out-of-warranty service is the same as for in-warranty service, except that Telect charges a
processing fee, and you must submit a Purchase Order along with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) before
returning equipment. Call a Customer Service Representative for help getting these forms.
The processing fee guarantees a repair estimate and is credited against actual material and labor costs.
1. Tag the equipment showing owners name, address, and telephone number, together with a detailed
description of the problem.
2. Use the original shipping container if possible. If you do not have it, package the equipment in a way to
prevent shipping damage. Include the RMA inside the container and legibly print the RMA number on the
outside of the package, near the shipping address
3. Insure the package.
