Cable Assembly Descriptions
Cable Description
Factory Assemblies
Two types of cabling operations are required for connecting factory assemblies.
The first is the connecting of Shelf Dangler Cables to other shelf dangler cables.
The second is the placement and connecting of intershelf cable assemblies that
are common to each shelf (i.e. power, ringing and test functions). These
Standard Bay Cable Assemblies are preconnectorized at the factory, and
installation consists of putting the right connectors together when mounting new
shelves or if cables had been disconnected for packing purposes. Factory
assemblies utilize connectors of the Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC)
type with low-profile hood assemblies.
Some bays may be shipped preassembled from the factory with shelves and
cables. For those bays, only the Customer Interface cabling operation is
necessary, and the associated section for installation of the factory cables is used
for verification procedures.
Customer Interface Cable Assemblies
These assemblies consist of external cables that interconnect the

COT Bay to various other systems and ancillary equipment such as the following:
a. VF customer lines for cross connections at a MDF block.
b. DS1 line connections for cross connections at the DSX.
c. Optical fiber jumpers for cross connections at the LGX for lightwave sys-
tems.
d. Alarm connections for COT inputs.
e. DC Test Pair connections for subscriber testing facilities.
