Required
Equipment and
Tools
The following equipment and tools are required to make GbE TX and 10/100BaseTX
cable connections at the ECM and intermediate patch panel:
•
Ethernet Protection or unprotected 10/100BaseT electrical connector module(s)
•
Two NGE, NGE Plus, or EoPDH cards per ECM. Each Ethernet Protection ECM
supports 1:1 protection, where one card protects the working card.
•
Cable(s):
–
Standard 25 pair, category 5 cables with 180º 50 position male Telco 50
(CHAMP) connector at one end. Two cables are required per Ethernet
Protection ECM. Four cables are required per unprotected 10/100BaseT ECM.
or
–
25, 50, or 75-foot (7.6, 15.2, or 22.8 meter) Turin Telco 50 cable assemblies.
One cable assembly per Ethernet Protection ECM
1
. Two cable assemblies per
unprotected 10/100BaseT ECM.
•
(SDH network only) One clamp-on ferrite (Turin PN 499-0135) per
10/100BaseTX cable (1 turn)
•
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist strap
•
CAT5E intermediate patch panel (24-port)
2
(Turin PN 910-0035)
•
Tool(s) to terminate GbE TX and 10/100BaseTX cabling at an intermediate patch
panel:
–
Wire wrap tool
or
–
Punchdown tool
or
–
RJ-45 crimp tool, cutter, and RJ-45 plugs
•
Large flat blade screwdriver for electrical connector modules (ECMs)
•
Small flat blade screwdriver for ECM Telco cable assemblies
Important:
Turin manufactures a Turin Telco 50 cable assembly for GbE
TX and 10/100BaseTX cabling with electrical connector modules
(ECMs). The Turin Telco 50 cable assembly provides additional shielding
for electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Important:
Industry-standard 25-pair, category 5 cable with a 180º Telco
50 male connector may be used as an option to the Turin Telco 50 cable
assembly; however, these cables may not [meet all Telcordia, FCC and
ETSI EMI test requirements.

The Turin Telco 50 cable assembly has male Telco 50 connectors at both ends. The cable assembly is cut
in half and used to connect to the two Telco 50 connectors on the ECM. The other end is wire wrapped at
the intermediate patch panel or terminated on RJ-45 connectors.
2
Turin provides an optional snap-in faceplate patch panel for termination of fiber optic cables (SC duplex
module) and Category 5 cables (RJ-45). This patch panel is used for the optic plus electric Combo cards.
It provides flexibility and better identification of fiber optic and copper pairs terminated at the
intermediate patch panel. Turin PN 950-0070-00 (2-port SC Duplex Adapter, 16-port 10/100 Ethernet
Category 5 Card).
