Cabling, Wiring, and Assembly
Installer Cabling Operations
General
The following sections detail all installer cables which can be connected to a
SLC
-
2000 7-foot COT System. Customer Interface cables are those which interconnect
to the office peripherals and ancillary equipment. Intrabay assemblies are the
shelf dangler cables and the separate Standard Bay Cable Assemblies.
NOTE:
Not every interface connection is required. The engineering specification or
installation order must specify which cables are required. Refer to the
APPLICATIONS section for the connections and cable assemblies neces-
sary for a complete
SLC
-2000 COT Bay installation.
All connectors for terminating at the
SLC
-2000 bay are provided by the
manufacturer with the equipment. These connectors are part of factory
assembled shelf dangler cable assemblies which can be accessed in the
frame’s duct. Installers must mate the customer cables to these connectors
for the connections to the customer’s facilities. Refer to Figure 3-5 for the
bay cabling routing.
There are also direct connections to the shelves’ connectors or back-
planes. Some Customers Interface cables (ED7C723-37) are complete
cable assemblies equipped with connectors at one end by the manufac-
turer (refer to the PARTS LISTS chapter). These cable assemblies can be
identified for their use by noting the jack or plug designation number. Refer
to Figure 3-6 to determine the mating connection. Other customer cable
assemblies must have both ends prepared by the installer. To facilitate
these operations associated pin/wire color coding has been provided.
All cable connectors must be accessed at the rear of the frame. Cable
assemblies must be dressed and oriented with their hood coverings so that
all cables exit across the rear of each shelf. The mating connectors must
be oriented so that the cables exit upwards in the cable duct towards the
overhead cable rack. Prepare this routing carefully to minimize congestion
in the duct especially when two adjacent bays share the duct space. Refer
to the appropriate figures for each shelf in the following paragraphs
The MDS rear cover has the cable routing direction paths designated as
arrow path lines for the VF and E& M transmission cables to aid in the
cable routing.
Each shelf has cable tie points at the rear and sides to support the associ-
ated cables. Refer to the associated figures for details.
