The Coral IPx 500 main cage and its expansion cages maintain a continuous
“conversation”. HDLC and PCM highways, clock and synchronization signals as well
as alarms are constantly exchanged between the cages. All data transfer is carried out
via the H500-1 cable.
The H500-1 cable is connected from the main cage to the first expansion cage. If an
additional expansion cage is connected, an additional H500-1 cable is connected from
first expansion cage to second expansion cage.
One H500-1 male/female cable, 55" (140 cm) long, is supplied with each IPx 500X cage
or IPx 800X cage.
The IPx 500 cages include cable connections that allow the expansion cages to be
added. The main cage includes one 50-pin female connection that connects to the first
expansion cage with an H500-1 male/female cable. When there is only main cage in
the system, this connection is not used. The second expansion cage includes two 50-pin
connections: the top connection is female; the bottom connection is male. The top
female connection connects to the first expansion cage. The lower connection connects
either to the female connection on the main cage or to the female connection on the
second expansion cage.
The IPx 800X cages include cable connections that allow the expansion cages to be
added. The main cage includes one 50-pin female connection that connects to the first
expansion cage with an H500-1 male/female cable. The expansion cage includes two
50-pin connections: the top connection is male; the bottom connection is female. The
top male connection connects either to the lower female connection on the expansion
cage or the female connection on the main cage. The lower connection connects either
to the female connection on the main cage. The figures below show how to
interconnect IPx 500M with IPx 800X cages.
