The Patton Model 2703 MegaLink-I™ wears several hats: As a network termination unit, the Model 2703 receives unstructured, synchronous 2.048 Mbps data from a G.703 network and sends it to a router, bridge, multiplexer or other device. As an interface converter, the Model 2703 accepts 120 Ohm twisted pair or 75 Ohm dual coax network connections (both types of interfaces provided). Then it converts the signals to EIA-530 (V.36/RS-422), V.35 or X.21 formats (switchable) on a UD-26 connector. As a rate converter, the Model 2703 lets a lower bandwidth device-256 Kbps, 512 Kbps, or 1.024 Mbps-connect to a 2.048 Mbps G.703 link. The Model 2703 supports internal, external or network (receive loop) clocking. A loopback test is built-in, and front panel LEDs monitor power, network, master clock and test loop. Several power supply options are available. The Model 2703RC rack card performs all the functions of the standalone box (except rate conversion) and fits in Patton rack systems.
