Cabling the HSSI

T3/E3 Connectors

The model S593 PathBuilder switch has two T3/E3 connectors per
interface. You can connect using either high-speed serial interface (HSSI)
cables or BNC cables. See “High-speed Serial Interface (HSSI) Cables” on
page 105 for more information about the HSSI cables.

Cabling the Coax

T3/E3 (BNC)

Connectors

You can cable one or two WAN connectors using either the HSSI cables
shown above or the coax T3/E3 (BNC) cables shown here.
