61186003L1-1D 7-67DLP-709Connect High-Speed CablingINTRODUCTIONThis procedure provides step-by-step instructions to install the DS3 or STS-1 network cablingto the backplane of the MX2820 shelf. Two standard BNC connectors provide the physicalinterface to the network for each Multiplexer (MUX) module or each pair for 1:1 redundantconfiguration. These BNC connectors provide the transmit and receive paths for the MX2820system.PREREQUISITE PROCEDURESObtain all necessary local instructions before proceeding with the MX2820 shelf installation.The instructions for routing and connecting the high-speed cabling from the MX2820backplane to the DS3/STS-1 network should be performed according to Central Office (CO)Standing Operating Procedures (SOP).The MX2820 shelf should be mounted in its permanent location in the CO before connectingthe cabling.CAUTIONDSX-1, DS3, STS-1, and 10/Base-T Ethernet circuits from theMX2820 are not to be connected directly to outside plant facilities.TOOLS REQUIRED• BNC connector• BNC crimping tool• Wire cutterMATERIALS REQUIRED• coaxial cable
