Patch Converter Panels
Larscom provides several Patch Converter Panel accessory kits for Access-T
1500. These kits are used to convert the two 50-pin RJ-48H line or aux connectors
on the rear panel of the Access-T 1500 to 15 RJ-48C connectors, one for each
Access-T 1500 module. There are four Patch Converter Panel accessory kits, two for
the line interface (19-inch rack and 23-inch rack models) and two for the aux interface
(19-inch rack and 23-inch rack models).
Larscom uses a standard cross-connect patch panel, which comes equipped with
8 wires per channel; however, the Access-T 1500 connectors require only 4 of
these wires. Figure E-1 shows the front and rear panel of the patch panel.
Provided with the patch panel is a custom “converter cable” (087-2143-001 for
the line panel, or 087-2143-002 for the aux panel) that connects the patch
converter panel to the Access-T 1500. Figure E-2 illustrates this cable; the only
difference between the two cables is the gender of the connectors. Refer to
Appendix A for cable drawings showing which pins from each 50-pin connector are
routed to each RJ-48C jack on the patch panel.
