Mixing Devices in a Carrier Half
When devices are mixed, such as DSUs with dial/lease

or Slots 9–16. From the front of the carrier, install
dial / lease modems starting with Slot 1.

Network Cables
Table 5-1 shows the network cables available.
Figure 5-1 illustrates several network cabling connections.
Network cables are used for NIM connections, network
connections (P21 and P22), and the T1 auxiliary
backplane network connections. The straight-in network
interface cable is recommended as no cable tie wrap is
required. When using the right-angle cable, use the tie
wrap as shown below.
The T1 auxiliary backplane network cable is attached
with a T1 network cable retainer. Refer to the Installing
the T1 Network Cable Retainer section of Chapter 4 for
