Connecting and Routing the Cables and Wires

This chapter explains how to install the NCS 2002 shelf.

The sections are:

NTP-L36 Attaching Wires to Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin Connections in NCS 2002

Purpose

This procedure attaches wires to the Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin connections in the NCS 2002 shelf.

Tools/Equipment

Twisted #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²) shielded wires for LAN or craft 75-ohm coaxial cable with DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector.

Prerequisite Procedures

NTP-L35 Installing the Power and Ground to the NCS 2002 Shelf

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite

Security Level

None


Caution


Always use the supplied Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wristband when working with a powered NCS 2002. For detailed instructions on how to wear the ESD wristband, refer to the Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding Guide for Cisco NCS 2000 Series



Note


To route the copper cables from the SFPs or RJ-45 ports in a NCS 2002 shelf, removal of the shelf door is mandatory.



Note


The minimum distance between the fiber LC connector and the bulk attenuator must be at least 50 cm. This is the minimum distance required to place the bulk attenuator outside the shelf from any port of a card.


Procedure


Step 1

Complete either DLP-L54 Installing Timing Wires in Cisco NCS 2002 - ANSIor DLP-L55 Installing Timing Wires in Cisco NCS 2002- ETSI if you are provisioning external timing.

Step 2

Complete DLP-L56 Installing LAN Wires in Cisco NCS 2002 to create an external LAN connection. You must connect a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card to create an external LAN connection.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.


DLP-L54 Installing Timing Wires in Cisco NCS 2002 - ANSI

Purpose

This task installs the timing wires in the DC-2 or AC-2 Power Module of NCS 2002 (ANSI).

Tools/Equipment

100-ohm wire wrap cable, wire wrap tool

Prerequisite Procedures

None

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite

Security Level

None

Procedure


Step 1

Locate the timing BITS connectors in the DC-2 or AC-2 Power Module, as shown in the figures below .

Figure 2. AC-2 Power Module ANSI BITS Connectors
AC-2 Power Module ANSI BITS Connectors

Step 2

Connect the wire wrap cable to the appropriate timing connector in the Power Module.

Step 3

Connect the other end of the cable to the external source of the timing.

Repeat this step for each cable that is needed.

Step 4

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).


DLP-L55 Installing Timing Wires in Cisco NCS 2002- ETSI

Purpose

This task installs the timing wires in the AC-2 or DC-2E Power Module of NCS 2002 (ETSI).

Tools/Equipment

75-ohm coaxial cable with a DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector. The PID for the BITS IN/OUT cable is 15454-M-TMGCBL=.

Prerequisite Procedures

None

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite

Security Level

None

Procedure


Step 1

Locate the timing BITS connectors in the DC-2E or AC-2 Power Module, as shown in the figures below.

Figure 3. DC-2E Power Module ETSI BITS Connectors

Figure 4. AC-2 Power Module ETSI BITS Connectors
AC-2 Power Module ETSI BITS Connectors

Step 2

Using a coaxial cable with DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors, connect the clock cable to the appropriate connector in the Power Module.

Step 3

Gently push the cable with the DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector down until the cable connector slides into the DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector on the Power Module with a click. The Power Module provides DIN 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors that are used for timing input and output. The input connectors for timing provide a 75-ohm termination. System cables that can convert timing clocks from 75 ohms to 100/120 ohms are available.

Note

 
See ITU-T G.813 for rules about provisioning timing references.

Step 4

Connect the other end of the cable to the external source of the timing.

Repeat this step for each cable that is needed.

Step 5

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
