Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration
Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005
Chapter 14 Connecting Cables
Making T3 or E3 Connections
Note
Maximum distance from a BPX switch to a DSX3 cross connect point is approximately 450
feet (150 meters).
Step 4
Record which slot and port number you are using for each trunk or line. You will need this information
later when configuring the network.
Step 5
If optional Y-cable redundancy is desired, locate a 3-way BNC Y-cable adapter for each port to be so
equipped. As an alternative to the Y-cable, use a BNC “T” and two short, equal-length BNC-BNC cables.
Step 6
For card redundancy, ensure there are two appropriate line modules equipped in adjacent slots.
Step 7
Connect two legs of the Y-cable to the XMT T3 or E3 connectors on the same port on each of the two
line modules as shown in Figure 14-2
.
Do the same with the two RCV T3 or E3 connectors.
Step 8
Connect the third leg of the XMT and RCV Y-cable adapters to the XMT and RCV trunk cable.
