The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This appendix provides you with information about multimodule horizontal cabling plans for the following expanded Cisco CRS Multishelf installations:
This section describes how to physically cable the fabric planes between each line card chassis (LCC) and fabric card chassis (FCC) in an 8+1, 8+2, or 8+4 Cisco CRS Multishelf installation using a horizontal multimodule cabling scheme.
For information about how to cable the control network for a single FCC, see the section Connections for a Single-FCC System in chapter Cabling the Fabric.
Because there is only one FCC in an 8+1 installation, and multimodule installations support horizontal expansion, the FCC is fully loaded with 24, S2 fabric cards.
The following rules and characteristics define the requirements for positioning S2 optical interface modules (OIMs) in the multishelf system and connecting them to the S13 cards in the LCCs.
See Table 1 below for the cabling plan for each line card chassis LCC 0 through LCC 7 and a single fabric card chassis (FCC 0), two fabric card chassis (FCC0 and FCC1), and four fabric card chassis (FCC0, FCC1, FCC2, and FCC3), each connected with horizontal cabling: In Table 1 below, N equals 0 through 7, corresponding to LCC0 through LCC7
