6-16 Routing and terminating the VF cables
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 6-4
Connecting the VF cable pairs to
BIX connectors without the cross-connect
This procedure shows how to connect VF cable pairs to BIX connectors
without 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.
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”).
Special tools required
There are no special tools required for completing this procedure. Use splicing
tools normally used for terminating BIX connectors.
