So would it be
worthwhile for me to pop the cover on one of these and
generate a schematic to post on my website? Or are there not any
compents inside?
The contents consist of a small number of large custom-wound
transformers, if what I've heard is correct. CI was normally run with two redundant paths. I'm
not sure if
an eight-port SC008 has two separate transformers to support that,
or if you just had to use two SC008s. It would be desirable to
run the redundant paths through physically separate Star Couplers,
which suggests that each would only have one transformer (two for
a 16-port).
I can post pictures of a board sometime in the next week or so.
I've got one that's removed from the cabinet.
