port.
Ethernet Cables CAT 5 Gigabit Ethernet copper cables are required for connecting
the Mediant 8000 to the IP network.
At least two CAT 5 cables are required - one for each Ethernet
Switch board. More cables are needed if interface separation is
implemented .
PSTN Cables Depending on the supplied configuration, one of the following
cables are required for connecting Mediant 8000 to the PSTN
equipment:
STM-1/OC-3 cables (for TP-6310):
Twin fiber optic cables with Dual-LC optical connectors are used for
connecting each STM-1/OC-3 interface on TP-6310 board with
PSTN equipment. These cables should be as specified in GR-253-
CORE. Length is determined by the customer.
Small Factor Optical transceivers (SFP) modules are supplied with
Mediant 8000.
T3 cables (for TP-6310 boards):
T3 cables are used for connecting each T3 interface on the TP-
