Cable Specifications

Cable Specifications

This appendix contains details on the Service Expansion Shelf cabling. It includes the following sections:


Note In all cable references, the transmit direction is away from the switch, and the receive direction is towards the switch.

T3 Trunk Cabling

A trunk cable connects each T3 port on the BNC-2T3 back card to a T3 port on other equipment. Refer to Table B-1 and Table B-2 for details.


Table B-1: Trunk Cables
Cable Parameter Description

75-ohm coax cable (RG-59 B/U for short runs, AT&T 734A for longer runs). Two per T3 line (XMT and RCV).

Max. Length:

450 feet maximum between the SES and other equipment.

Connector:

Terminated in male BNC; Rx is received from trunk, Tx is transmitted to trunk.

E1 Cabling

SMB Connector

E1 trunk cables connect the customer DSX-1 cross-connect point or E1 Channel Service Unit (CSU) to the node at the FRSM E1 back card (SMB-8E1). Refer to Table B-4 and Table B-5.


Table B-4: E1 Trunk/Circuit Line Cabling Specification
Cable Parameter Description

Cable Type: BNC-8E1

75-ohm coax cable for unbalanced connection. Two cables/pairs (1 transmit, 1 receive) per E1 line.

Cable Connector:

16 female SMB for unbalanced connection. Refer to Tables A-2 and A-3 for pinouts.

Max. Cable Length:

Approximately 100 meters maximum between the SES node and the first repeater or CSU. Equalizer for cable length.

DC Power Cabling

DC Power connections are made to the DC Power Entry Modules at the rear of the SES. Refer to Table B-7 and Table B-8 for acceptable cable and wire types. Cisco normally does not provide wiring for DC-powered systems. Refer to Table B-7 for details on DC wiring.


Table B-7: DC Power Wiring
Cable Parameter Description

Wiring:

Three conductor, 10 AWG recommended wire gauge, min. 60ºC insulation rating, copper conductors only. Solid or stranded wires. Wire insulation stripped back 0.25" (6 mm) at the SES connector end.

Connection:

EURO Block.

AC Power Cabling

Either Cisco Systems or the customer can provide the AC power cord. See Table B-8 for the power cords that Cisco can supply. In addition, you can special-order AC cables with other plugs or different lengths. If you want to construct the power cord, it must mate with an IEC320 (C-14) 10/15A male receptacle on the back of the AC power module.


Table B-8: AC Power Cables
Cable Parameter Description

Cable:

Provided with 8 feet (2.3 m) of 3-conductor wire with plug.

Plug: customer end

20 A NEMA L620, 3-prong plug (domestic U.S.)
Need 15A NEMA 5-15 for US and Canada.

Control and Clock Cabling

This section describes the cables that can connect to the PXM-UI card.

Maintenance and Control Ports

The Maintenance (or Modem) port and the Control (or Console) port connect an SES to an ASCII terminal, workstation, or modem for remote alarm reporting or system monitoring. Refer to Table B-9 for a description of the cabling and Table B-10 for the pinout of the associated RJ-45 connector.


Table B-9: Maintenance and Control Port Cabling
Cable Parameter Description

Interface:

EIA/TIA-232---both are DTE ports.

Suggested Cable:

24 AWG, 8-wire. A straight-through EIA/TIA-232 cable provides a terminal or printer connection. For an interface with modems on either port, a null modem cable may be necessary.

Cable Connector:

RJ-45, subminiature, male. Table B-10 contains a list of the port pin assignments.

Max. Cable Length:

50 feet (15 m)

External Clock Input Cabling

The SES has two external clock input connectors: a T1 RJ-45 connector or and E1 SMB connector..

T1 Clock Cabling

The clock port can accept a T1 or E1 BITS clock input.

External Alarm Cabling

The external alarm cable connects to the Alarm connector on the PXM-UI card. See Table B-11 for physical characteristics of the cable and Table B-12 for the pinouts.
