AC Power Cabling
Either Cisco Systems or the customer can provide the AC power cord. See Table B-12 for the power
cords that Cisco can supply. In addition, you can special-order AC cables with other plugs or different
lengths. If you want to construct the power cord, it must mate with an IEC320 (C-14) 10/15A male
receptacle on the back of the AC power module.
Control and Clock Cabling
This section describes the cables that can connect to the PXM-UI card.
Maintenance and Control Ports
The Maintenance (or Modem) port and the Control (or Console) port connect an MGX 8230 to an ASCII
terminal, workstation, or modem for remote alarm reporting or system monitoring. Refer to
