Cabling for a Direct Connect Configuration

Cabling for a Direct Connect Configuration

This chapter provides Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) compliance cabling guidelines, cabling configuration diagrams, and part numbers for the following:


Note The fan tray backplane (connector P2) is connected to the E2A alarm contact (connector J14, pins 7 and 8) on the multiplexer chassis (MC) backplane. The fan tray alarm contacts will be wired in the installation procedures so that fan tray alarms can be transmitted to the ViewRunner management software. For more information on connecting the fan tray and the MC, refer to either "Installing a Direct Connect with a POTS Splitter Chassis Configuration" or "Installing a Direct Connect without a POTS Splitter Chassis Configuration."
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

If you are using dual-port ATU-C modules, use 64-port MC cables. However, if you plan to expand your system to quad-port xTU-C modules for future releases, you can use 128-port MC cables to make future expansion easier. The 128-port MC cables are recommended for all new installations.

For detailed port mapping tables, see "Connectors, Pinouts, and Port Mapping." This appendix includes port mapping tables to build MC cables.

Table 3-1 shows an overview of the cables used for each Cisco 6100 Series system configuration.

3.1 NEBS Compliance Cabling Guidelines

To comply with NEBS requirements, ensure that all cables are screwed in to the backplane and that the Champ connectors are tie wrapped. (See Figure 3-1.)


Figure 3-1: NEBS Cabling Compliance



Note For additional compliance and safety information, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 6100 Series System document.

3.2 Direct Connect with PSC Configuration Cables

In a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration, use only designated cables to connect the MC, the PSC, and the MDF. This section provides tables and illustrations for the following:


Note Some chassis connectors in the cabling diagrams are not used because they are specific to one of the other configurations of the Cisco 6100 Series system or because they are reserved for future use.

3.2.1 MC to PSC Cables

You can use the following cables when you are cabling the MC to the PSC in a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration:

One-to-One Cables

You can use one-to-one cables to connect the MC to the PSC for systems using dual-port CAP or DMT-2 ATU-C modules. Table 3-2 lists the backplane connectors and the part numbers for the basic one-to-one cables connecting the MC to the PSC in a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration.


Note Do not use this cable if you plan to expand the system to quad-port xTU-C modules, which will be available in future releases.

Two-to-One Cables

You can use two-to-one cables to connect one MC to two PSCs for systems using dual-port or quad-port ATU-C modules. Quad-port ATU-C modules will be available in a future release.

Table 3-3 lists the backplane connectors and the part numbers for the two-to-one cables connecting one MC to two PSCs in a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration. In this configuration, 64 POTS splitter ports are used in each PSC, for a total of 128 ports.

3.2.2 PSC to MDF Cables

You can use the following cables to connect the PSC to the MDF in a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration:

One-to-One Cables

You can use one-to-one cables to connect the PSC to the MDF or POTS service connectors. Table 3-4 lists the backplane connectors, the available cable lengths, and the part numbers for the one-to-one cables connecting the PSC to the MDF in a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration. Each cable has the same pinouts. The only difference between the four cables is the length. Use the length that works best for your configuration.

3.3 Direct Connect without PSC Configuration Cables

In a Direct Connect without a PSC configuration, use only designated cables to connect the MC and the MDF. This section provides tables and illustrations for the following:


Note Some chassis connectors in the cabling diagrams are not used because they are specific to one of the other configurations of the Cisco 6100 Series system or because they are reserved for future use.

3.3.1 Two-to-Three Cables

To associate the MDF wire pairs and the MC modem ports, the two-to-three cable remaps the wire pairs from the MC connectors to the MDF connectors. The cable is used in systems with dual-port DMT-2 ATU-C modules installed in the MC.

Table 3-6 lists the backplane connectors and the part numbers for the two-to-three cables connecting the MC to the MDF in a Direct Connect without a PSC configuration.


Note This cable is not recommended if you plan on expanding your system to quad-port xTU-C modules, which will be available in future releases.

To associate the MDF wire pairs and the MC modem ports, the three-to-three cable remaps the wire pairs from the MC connectors to the MDF connectors. Use the cable in systems with dual-port DMT-2 ATU-C or quad-port xTU-C modules installed in the MC.

3.3.3 Five-to-Six Cables

For a convenient connection to external wire-pair test equipment, the five-to-six cable remaps the wire pairs from the MC connectors to the MDF connectors. Use these cables in systems with dual-port or quad-port xTU-C modules installed in the MC. Table 3-8 lists the backplane connectors and the part numbers for the five-to-six cables connecting the MC to the MDF in a Direct Connect without a PSC configuration.


Note This cable supports a maximum of 120 modem ports. MC slots 20 and 38 are not used with this cable.

3.4 Subtended Network Configuration Cables

In a subtended network configuration, use only designated cables to connect the DS3 subtending card to the DS3 system I/O card. This section provides the following:

3.4.1 Cabling Diagrams

Two DS3 system I/O cards are currently available. Figure 3-17 shows the basic cabling of the subtended network configuration with the DS3 system I/O card that is available from Release 2.4.0 and later.


Note Some connectors are not used because they are specific to one of the other configurations of the MC or because they are reserved for future use.

Figure 3-17:
Basic Cabling for Subtending from Release 2.4.0 and Later


Figure 3-18 shows the basic cabling of the subtended network configuration with the DS3 system I/O card that is available earlier than Release 2.4.0.


Figure 3-18:
Basic Cabling for Subtending Before Release 2.4.0


3.4.2 Cable Connections

The DS3 subtending card on the subtending host MC connects directly to the DS3 system I/O card on the subtended mode MC. You should add ferrites to the DS3 75-ohm coaxial cables that you use to cable the DS3 subtending card to the DS3 system I/O card. Doing so reduces the radiation/EMI susceptibility of the system to high frequency noise, bringing it to a value between 30 and 200 MHz. For more information, see "Installing a Subtended Network in a Direct Connect Configuration."

3.5 Siecor POTS Splitter Cables

The Siecor ADSL POTS Splitter Rack-Mount Shelf is compatible with the Cisco 6130. If you use the Siecor POTS splitter, you need six one-to-one cables to connect the POTS splitter to the Cisco MC connectors J39 through J44. This one-to-one cable is not the same as the one-to-one cables used in previous configurations.

Use the one-to-one cable when you are connecting the MC to the Siecor POTS splitter. Table 3-9 lists the cable and associated part numbers.

Figure 3-19: One-to-One Special Cable



Note If you are installing a Direct Connect with a PSC configuration using the Siecor ADSL POTS Splitter Rack-Mount Shelf, install the Cisco components (excluding the PSC) according to
"Installing a Direct Connect with a POTS Splitter Chassis Configuration." Refer to the ADSL POTS Splitter Rack-Mount Shelf Central Office Version document for installation procedures for the Siecor POTS splitter. This configuration is only compatible if DMT-2 ATU-C modules are installed in the MC and DMT modules installed in the Siecor POTS splitter.
