Synchronization Cable
The synchronization cable is connected to the SYNC port on the faceplate of
the 10 GbE
Standard with BITS option module. This port is used for the BITS
interface and has an RJ-45 jack.
Note: The BITS interface can be configured to be either BITS-IN or
BITS-OUT. It cannot do both BITS-IN and BITS-OUT simultaneously.
Ciena offers an optional cable for this interface that is a 6 foot long shielded
cable. One end has a shielded RJ-45 connector and the other end is
unterminated. When using this cable the shield of the un-terminated end must
be connected. A customer supplied cable can also be used provided it is
shielded, the cable is CAT 5 or better and the shield is terminated at both
ends. This interface is classified as intra-building only.
To install a shielded Cat 5 cable, insert the connector into the port on the
device until you hear a clicking sound. Insert the tail end of the cable into the
port on the terminating device.
Fiber Optic Cables
There are two types of ports on the 5150 that accept pluggable optics:
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with XFP connectors
• 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with SFP connectors
The XFP/SFP pluggables in the 5150 allow you to select the port speed,
wavelength, etc to match the device on the terminating end. See
“Transceivers” on page 2-10 for more information about the transceivers, and
their installation.
Copper SFP ports require shielded Cat 5e cables. The remaining SFP ports
and the XFP ports will require optical cables. You will need to know the
specification of the optic to select the appropriate cable.
Do not remove the dust cover until immediately prior to mating the connectors.
For best results, prior to mating the Fiber optic connectors clean both the port
and the connector with a lint free cloth moistened with alcohol. If available, the
connectors should also be blown dry using canned, compressed air. Insert the
connector into the port on the device until you hear a clicking sound.
