Chapter 1 Install the Shelf and Backplane Cable
NTP-A9 Install the Electrical Card Cables on the Backplane
Warning
Metallic interfaces for connection to outside plant lines (such as T1/E1/T3/E3, etc.) must be connected
through a registered or approved device such as CSU/DSU or NT1.
Step 7 Label all cables at each end of the connection to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in
appearance.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A26 Install Coaxial Cable With High-Density BNC Connectors
Step 1 Place the cable connector over the desired connection point on the backplane.
Step 2 Using the BNC insertion tool, position the cable connector so that the slot in the connector is over the
corresponding notch at the backplane connection point.
Step 3 Gently push the connector down until the notch backplane connector slides into the slot on the cable
connector.
Step 4 Turn the cable connector clockwise to lock it into place.
Step 5 Tie wrap or lace the cables to the EIA according to Telcordia standards (GR-1275-CORE) or local site
practice.
Step 6 Route the cables to the nearest side of the shelf assembly through the side cutouts according to local site
practice.
Warning
Metallic interfaces for connection to outside plant lines (such as T1/E1/T3/E3, etc.) must be connected
through a registered or approved device such as CSU/DSU or NT1.
The rubber-coated edges of the side cutouts prevent the cables from chafing.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task installs the coaxial cable with high-density BNC connectors.
