Cabling Summary

Cabling Summary

Introduction

This appendix contains details on the MGX 8850 cabling.


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

T3 Trunk Cabling

A trunk cable connects each T3 port on the SMB-8T3 back card to a T3 on the co-located Axis-series node. See Table B-1 and Table B-2 for details.


Table B-1: Trunk Cables
Cable Parameter Description

Type

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 max. between the MGX 8850 node and DSX-3.

Connector

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

E3 Trunk Cabling

A trunk cable connects each E3 port on the SMB-8T3 back card to a E3 port on the co-located
Axis-series node. See
Table B-3 and Table B-4 for details.


Table B-3: E3 Trunk Cables

Cable Parameter Description

Wiring

Three conductor, 6 AWG recommended wire gauge, min. 60 degrees Celsius insulation rating, copper conductors only. Panduit
LC AS6-10-L terminal lug or equivalent to fit #10-32 screws.

Connection

Panduit terminal lug (p/n LC AS6-10-L) or equivalent to fit #10-32 screws.

Control and Clock Cabling

This section describes the cables that can connect to the PXM-UI-S3 card.

Maintenance and Control Ports

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.

External Clock Input Cabling

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.)

T1/E1 Clock Cabling

The T1 RJ48 clock port can accept either a T1 or E1 BITS/SETS signal.


Table B-9: External Clock Cabling
Cable Parameter Description

Cable Type

22 AWG, twisted pair w/shield. 100 ohm for T1; 120 ohm for E1.

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.

Bits Clock Connector Pin Outs

Table B-10 is the pin out for the RJ48 BITS clock connector using ohm 100 termination for T1 and
120 ohm terminatio for E1. Make sure 100 ohm termination is selected when configuring the clocks. You will only need to connect the RX Ring, RX tip, and the ground signals.

Alarm Connector Pin Outs

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.

Standard MGX 8850 Cables

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.
