14 Electrical and Mechanical Interfaces

The following table describes the electrical characteristics of the card’s digital inputs and outputs.

Network Connector

The PCC-10 card includes a standard 68-pin computer PC Card connector for interfacing with a host

computer or embedded controller. This connector conforms to PCMCIA PC Card Standard, Release

2.1 guidelines for Type II I/O cards.

Free Topology Network Connection

The PCC-10 card contains an integral TP/FT-10 compatible transceiver to facilitate easy connection to

a free topology or link power channel. The free topology network connection, pins 14 and 15 of the

15-pin Hirose connector as previously shown in the electrical interface block diagram, is

polarity-insensitive. You can create custom cable assemblies for use with the PCC-10 card. For

example, you can create a cable assembly with a 15-pin Hirose connector, a two-conductor cable, and a

Switchcraft Q-G® A3MBAU XLR connector . The XLR connector provides a rugged, reliable means

of repeatedly connecting and disconnecting the PCC-10 card from a network.
