Routing and terminating the VF cables 6-9
AccessNode Series 800A Outside Plant Cabinet Installation 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 6-2
Connecting the VF cable pairs 1–600 to
BIX connectors with the cross-connect
This procedure shows how to connect VF cable pairs 1 to 600 to BIX
connectors with the cross-connect facility installed.
The installation steps outlined in this procedure are suggested procedures.
Operating companies may complete the steps per their own cross-connect
practices.
Route the binder groups to connector pairs 1–600 after pair count 601–1200
This group is on the right side of the cross-connect frame. All connectors are
numbered on the front of the swing frame. See Figure 6-1 on page 6-6 and
Figure 6-4 on page 6-11.
Reference information for the SPC signal pair assignments and specific
connector pin designations is contained in Chapter 13, “Cabinet and
equipment wiring and cabling”.
Connections between BIX and VF line protectors are factory installed using
24-gauge wires. Electronic equipment is connected to the protector assembly
by connectorized cable assemblies.
Because of the limited space and density of the cable routing, keep cable slack
to a minimum.
Fuse links should be spliced into the VF pairs outside the cabinet.
Ensure that a QCM2A or equivalent bond clamp(s) is installed on the outside
cable (see Chapter 4, “Installing the OSP cables”).
Tools required
There are no special tools required for completing this procedure. Use splicing
tools normally used for terminating BIX connectors.
