6-10 Routing and terminating the VF cables
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 6-2 (continued)
Connecting the VF cable pairs 1–600 to BIX connectors with the cross-connect
Action
Step Action
1 Remove the connectors and retainers (color coded blue) from their cartons.
2 Attach the connectors and the retainers to the cross-connect position on the
swing frame (see Figure 6-1 on page 6-6).
Note:
The recommended layout is to reserve the first 12 connectors in each
column as feeder (color coded green). Connector numbers 11 and 12 in the
second column are vacant. The remaining vacant positions in each column
are designated for distribution (color coded blue) and OSP DS1 terminations.
3 Install the retainers.
4 Plug in the connectors.
5 Divide the VF cable into 25-pair bundles.
6 Route each 25-pair bundle up the left side cable ladder in their proper pair
count order from top to bottom following standard color code assignments.
7 Route the binder groups to connectors 1
–600.
Note:
This group is on the right side of the cross-connect. 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).
8 Form cabling toward the hinge side of the swing frame.
Note:
Be sure to maintain 6–8 inches of slack to allow the swing frame to
open and close (see Figure 6-5 on page 6-12).
9 Wrap the ends with vinyl tape to keep the binder groups organized until you
are ready to splice.
10 Tie wrap each bundle to its appropriate connector position in the
cross-connect.
11 Tie down unused pairs for future use.
12 Route each 25-pair binder group through the openings in the swing frame to
the corresponding connector at the front of the frame (see Figure 6-6 on page
6-13).
