Cabling Summary
This appendix contains details on the MGX 8850 cabling.
A trunk cable connects each T3 port on the BNC-2T3 back card to a T3 port on the co-located
BPX 8600-series node. See Table B-1 and Table B-2 for details.

This section describes the cables that can connect to the PXM-UI-S3 card.
The maintenance (or modem) port and the control (or console) port connect a node to an ASCII terminal, workstation, or modem for remote alarm reporting or system monitoring. See Table B-7 for a description of the cabling and Table B-8 for the pinout of the associated RJ48 connector.

The external clock input cable connects the external clock inputs through the PXM-UI-S3. The clock may be 1.544 Mbps for 2.048 Mbps. (See Table B-9 through Table B-15.)
The T1 RJ48 clock port can accept a T1 BITS clock input. The E1 RJ48 clock port can accept a 2.048 MHz clock sync or a 2.048 Mbps E1 bi-polar signal.
Table B-9: External Clock Cabling
| Cable Parameter
| Description
|

Cable Type
| Western Electric 22 AWG, ABAM individually shielded twisted pair (100 ohm balanced). One pair per T1 line (1 receive).
|
Cable Connector
| RJ45 for T1.
|
Max. Cable Length
| 533 ft. (162 m) maximum between the MGX 8850 node and the first repeater or CSU. Selection of cable length equalizers is used. Wire build-out is required.

Table B-13 shows the pin assignment on the Alarm connector on PXM-UI-S3. When audio alarm is enabled, Audio Alarm On and Audio Alarm Common pins are closed (short circuit). When the audio alarm is disabled, the Audio Alarm On and the Audio Alarm Common pins are opened (open circuit).
When visual alarm is enabled, Visual Alarm On and Visual Alarm Common pins are closed and Visual Alarm Off pin is opened. When the visual alarm is disabled, the Audio Alarm Off and the Audio Alarm Common pins are closed and Visual Alarm On pin is opened.

The standard cables that Cisco can supply for the MGX 8850 system appear in Table B-14. The suffix to the model number indicates the length of the cable. For example, 5610-50 indicates a 50-foot cable. Cables are available in standard lengths of 10 ft. (3 m), 25 ft. (7.6 m), 50 ft. (15 m), 75 ft. (22.8 m), and 100 ft. (30 m). Lengths of 100 ft. (30 m) to 600 ft. (183 m) are available through a special order.
Where applicable, Table B-14 includes the gender of the connector and the number of pins. For example, EIA/TIA-232/M25-M25 indicates a cable terminated with a male DB25 at both ends.
