9.6.2 LED driver signals
Fault and Active LED signals are located in the FC-SCA connector (J1). See Table 35 for the output character-
istics of the LED drive signals.
9.6.3 Differential PECL output
The serial PECL output signal voltage characteristics are provided in Table 36. The outputs are not AC coupled
in order to deliver maximum signal without rise and fall time degradation. You must AC couple the receiver to
isolate potentially different DC characteristics of the outputs and the receiver.
Figure 12 provides the data output valid eye diagram relative to the bit cell time. Table 38 lists the data values.
