Attaching a Redundant Power System

Cabling the ATM Coax (DS3/E3) Connectors

You can cable the ATM Coax (DS3/E3) connectors using two 75-ohm
coaxial (BNC) cables as shown here.

Attaching a
Redundant Power
System

You can attach your PathBuilder switch to a PathBuilder Redundant
Power System (RPS).

For full power supply redundancy, attach one end of the RPS cable to the
rear panel on the switch and the other end to the RPS. Then attach one
