9500 MXC User Manual
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007 Vol. III-2-23
Jumper Cables
A jumper cable is required from the INU/INUe or IDU, to the lightning surge
suppressor installed at the building entry.
• For the INU/INUe (9500 MXC Node) a 3m jumper cable is included with each
RAC, fitted with an SMA male connector at the RAC end and a Type N female
at the suppressor end. If the run length is greater than 3m, an extension cable
must be prepared to extend the jumper reach, using the ODU cable with Type N
connectors fitted at both ends.
• For the IDU (9500 MXC Terminal) a 3m jumper cable is available as an
optional IDU accessory. The cable is fitted with a Type N male connector for
the IDU end, and a Type N female connector at the suppressor end. Otherwise,
the ODU cable can be used to make up a suitable cable.
• Connectors for an extension cable (1 x Type N male and 1 x Type N female) are
included in the Lightning Surge Suppressor installation kits.
Type N Cable Connectors
Ensure connectors are correctly fitted. Where crimp connectors are used, ensure
the correct crimp tool is used.
Installing Lightning Surge Suppressors
Where there is a threat of lightning strikes at the installation site, lightning surge
suppressors are installed in the ODU cable at the ODU and at building entry.
• A surge suppressor is a requirement at the ODU end of the cable.
All Type N connectors used outdoors must be weatherproofed. Refer to
Weatherproofing on page 2-38.
Failure to correctly install lightning surge suppressors can invalidate the
Alcatel-Lucent warranty. If circumstances do not appear to warrant installation of
suppressors at both ends of the ODU cable, this should be checked and
confirmed in writing with your Alcatel-Lucent technical support center or an
Alcatel-Lucent approved installation company.
