Connecting the Cables

This chapter describes how to connect the interface cables, power the system, and check the status LEDs

on circuit cards to make sure you have installed everything properly.

Cisco MGX 8260 configurations will require some type of cable management plan for the WAN cabling.

This may include the installation of vertical and horizontal cable raceways that bolt to the racks.

The MGX 8260 uses the following cable types:

•BITS—STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables for the timing source, terminated with RJ-45 connectors

•DS3—Coaxial cables for DS3 lines terminated with SMB connectors (see Table 5-1)

•T1—STP cables for 100-ohm T1 lines terminated with 50-pin RJ-21 connectors

•E1—STP cables for 120-ohm E1 lines terminated with RJ-48 connectors

•Fast Ethernet—Category 5 STP cables for 100BASE-TX lines terminated with RJ-45 connectors

•OC-3—Single or mulitmode fiber cables for OC-3 lines terminated in small form factor LC or

MT-RJ connectors

•10BASE-T—Category 5 STP cables for Ethernet management ports terminated with RJ-45

connectors

•Alarm—Custom cable for visual or audible alarm indications terminated on a DB-15 connector

•Console—EIA/TIA-232 serial cable for a console terminated with a DB-9 connector

•Aux—EIA/TIA-232 serial cable for a modem terminated with a DB-9 connector

•DC Power—12 AWG ST, UL 1015 wires for power and return. 8 AWG for safety ground

For more information on cables, see Appendix A, “Cable and Connector Reference”.

Caution Use shielded cables with shielded connector hoods for all connections except DC power and ground.

Chapter 5 Connecting the Cables Connecting DS3 Coaxial Cables

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the Stratum timing standard in your facility.

Step 3 If your system has a redundant SCC, repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for the adjacent SCC.

Note Do not daisychain the BITS connection to the secondary SCC. Daisychaining BITS causes

unnecessary wander buildup in the clock network. Instead of daisy-chaining, use a Timing Signal

Generator (TSG) at the facility to create multiple copies of the Stratum 3 BITS clock, then run the

copies to each SCC separately.

Connecting DS3 Coaxial Cables

Each DS3 trunk requires two coaxial cable connections—one for transmit and one for receive.

Appendix A, “Cable and Connector Reference,” specifies cable requirements for DS3 lines. To connect

DS3 coaxial cables to nonredundant BSCs or DMCs, follow these steps.

Note Mark each cable with identifying information suitable for tracking in the MGX 8260 configuration

database.

Step 1 Connect a transmit DS3 line (coaxial cable terminated with a female SMB connector) to the TX

connector on the T3E3BC-6DSX back card. (See Figure 5-2.)

Step 2 Connect the receive DS3 line associated with the TX line in Step 1 to the RX connector associated with

the TX connector in Step 1. (See Figure 5-2.)

Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for all DS3 lines.

Chapter 5 Connecting the Cables

Connecting OC-3 Cables

Note This procedure applies to MGX 8260 nodes configured with SCC OC-3 back cards for fiber interface

to Cisco MGX 8850 ATM switches. If your MGX 8260 node uses SCCs with Fast Ethernet back

cards, skip this section.

Each fiber interface consists of two fiber-optic cables—one for transmit signals and one for receive

signals. If the SCC is equipped with the single mode OC-3 back card, the fiber cables must be terminated

with LC type connectors at the MGX 8260. If the SCC is equipped with the multimode OC-3 back card,

the fiber cables must be terminated with MT-RJ type connectors at the MGX 8260.

Note The transmit and receive fiber cables must be reversed at each device. The receive fiber cable from

the MGX 8260 goes to the transmit port at the other end, and vice versa.

Caution When handling optical cables, observe the manufacturer’s bend radius limits.

To connect the OC-3 fiber-optic cables, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the first optical cable to the top receptacle of the SCC back card in slot 9 or 10 (See Figure 5-7.)

Step 2 Route the optical cable down and to the side of the chassis, observing the minimum bend radius for the

cable.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable into the appropriate communication equipment.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for other optical cables.

Step 5 If your system has a redundant SCC, repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the adjacent SCC.

Chapter 5 Connecting the Cables

Connecting Visual and Audible Alarms

To connect alarm relay contacts, follow these steps:

Step 1 Prepare a custom, multiple-conductor alarm cable for visual or audio alarms in your facility. Terminate

this cable in a DB-15 connector using the pinouts shown in Appendix A, “Cable and Connector

Reference.”

Step 2 Connect the DB-15 cable to the alarm connector on the SCC back card.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to a centralized alarm management system (CAMS).

Applying DC Power

Warning

Carefully read all instructions in the “Electrical Safety Warnings” section on page 2-2 before

continuing with the instructions in this section.

This procedure explains how to connect and apply DC power to the MGX 8260.

Observe the recommended wire gauge and number of power cables. This procedure specifies two 12

AWG conductors for the Supply (–48V) and two 12 AWG conductors for the Return (RTN) wires from

the power source to the appropriate terminal blocks on the MGX 8260. The length of each wire should

be kept as short as possible and the same length. This specification provides the proper conductor

capacity for the MGX 8260’s maximum power requirements (1800 watts).

The supply wires to the input terminals on the MGX 8260 should be protected by a double-pole,

20-amp-per-pole circuit breaker for each circuit. This configuration is shown in Figure 5-10. Note that

each circuit (A and B) is connected to a separate power source and circuit breaker.

Caution Make the connections as shown in Figure 5-10.

To connect DC power as shown in Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11, follow these steps:

Step 1 Disable DC power from the source by switching circuit breakers to the OFF position or removing fuses,

depending on your configuration. Circuit breaker switches should also be taped in the OFF position.

Caution Make sure that you disable the power source for both power circuits, A and B.

Step 2 Prepare four power cables for each input feed—two for –48V supply and two for RTN. Use 12 AWG ST,

UL 1015 wire with #8 spade lugs for 12 AWG (MOLEX BB-8716-08) for each cable.

Step 3 Verify that the ground lead is already connected as indicated in Step 5 of the “Installing the Chassis”

section on page 4-2.

Step 4 Remove the MGX 8260 power terminal cover from the feed A power terminals and set it aside. (See

Figure 5-12.) To remove the cover, use a small bladed screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws and

lift the cover off.

Chapter 5 Connecting the Cables Applying DC Power

Step 5 Connect two return cables, one to each MGX 8260 RTN terminal for power circuit A. Connect the other

ends to the RTN terminals at power source A.

Step 6 Connect two supply cables, one to each –48V terminal for power circuit A. Connect the other ends

through –48V circuit breaker terminals for power circuit A.

Warning

All four power terminals must have cables. A single supply and return cable pair will not support

a fully loaded MGX 8260 chassis.

Step 7 Install the power circuit cover. Slide the tab at the top of the cover into the chassis, and then lower the

body over the terminals, making sure the power cables exit through separate slots in the bottom of the

cover. (See Figure 5-12.)

Caution Make sure the power terminal cover is correctly seated and that the power cables pass freely through

the openings at the bottom. Exposed power terminals or damaged insulation pose a safety risk to

personnel.

Step 8 Secure the cover with the two captive screws.

Step 9 To install redundant power circuit protection, repeat Step 3 through Step 8 for power circuit B,

connecting the MGX 8260 power cables to power source B.

Step 10 A logical view of MGX 8260 power connections is shown in Figure 5-10. A rear view of the MGX 8260

with power connections installed is shown in Figure 5-11. Verify that your power connections have been

made as shown in these figures.

Caution The MGX 8260 is not equipped with an internal disconnect device. To power down the node, you

must turn off the devices protecting the power feeds. If the MGX 8260 is powered from redundant

feeds, both devices must be turned off.

Step 11 Apply DC power by switching the circuit breaker on.

Immediately after power up, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Verify that the PWR A indicator on each SCC is illuminated. (See Figure 5-13.)

Figure 5-13 Power LEDs

Step 2 If the chassis has been wired for power redundancy, verify that the PWR B LED is illuminated.

Step 3 After a startup period, the CARD LED on each circuit card should change to yellow or green. In a system

configured with redundant cards, the CARD LED changes to green on the active card and yellow on the

standby cards. If the CARD LED of any card is red or off, troubleshoot the problem before proceeding.
