Matrix Frame Architecture
- Eclipse CPU and Audio interface cards communicate on the frame's TDM backplane using a proprietary serial protocol that passes requests and instructions from the cards.
- Eclipse Audio interface cards make its audio inputs available on the frame's TDM backplane using PCM audio and receives from its other card inputs for mixing to its outputs.
- Eclipse CPU controller cards communicate externally to the configuration computer or control system via a serial network interface.
- Eclipse Audio interface cards communicate externally on their own dedicated interfaces. Externally each card is an individual clock domain and does not bridge to other cards.
- No network connections are shared or bridged between cards.

Maximum number of each card type in matrix frame type. Not including bundled cards. For reference only. Customer's frame configuration should be validated for 1) timeslots / ports, 2) card power draw. See Eclipse HX Power Calculator.
E-FIB Card Capacity
Ports per card:
TX: 16-224 configured to dynamically make available requested or reserved ports from the frame via fiber ring
RX: 16-224 configured to dynamically receive any of the 1952 ports from fiber ring
Cards per Ring: 16
Rings per Linked System: 2
Connectors
LAN: (2) SFP (Ring Topology) - Single-mode SFP (Supplied)
Note: While mechanically identical, SFPs are designed with different properties for data rates, power and fiber cable type. Please refer to the Clear-Com SFP Compatibility Chart for compatible SFP transceivers.
Note: Total installed fiber length exceeding >20km should be validated. Contact Clear-Com for further information.
