Chapter 1Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications

Introduction The Traverse shelf provides MPX optical fiber connectors to support high-capacity, high-density, and easy-operation fiber connection for optical interface cards: Ethernet and SONET/SDH. Each slot has receptacles for up to two MPX ribbon fiber connectors to support single mode and multi-mode fiber optic cable. Each Traverse backplane MPX connector housing supports from 1 to 12 fiber pairs for a maximum fiber count of 48 per slot. There is a white stripe reference mark along one edge of the backplane housing and card MPX connector. The white stripe orients the number one fiber position.

The Traverse shelf also provides a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector module (SCM) to support high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for the 10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE-10) and 8-port OC-48 cards.

The following graphic orients the card housing with the MPX cable connectors:

Figure 1 Fiber Optic Card (viewed from the right side)

Fiber Optic Backplane

The Traverse fiber optic backplane contains duplex backplane housings for the card MPX connectors. The fiber optic backplane housings are marked with a white stripe reference marker to properly orient the MPX connectors. The table below describes the number of duplex housings and GCM housing slot numbers.

Fiber Optic and Ethernet Combo Card Patch Panels

A fiber optic patch panel may be used to provide access and standard connectors (SC, FC, ST, LC, or D4) for termination of fiber optic cables from the Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) and from the Traverse fiber optic backplane. Fiber optic cable with a MPX female connector on one end must be used to make the connection at the Traverse fiber optic backplane. An MPX connector on the other end of the fiber optic cable is optional. Fiber optic cable with fan out for termination to single fiber connectors (SC, FC, ST, LC, or D4) is another option.

For Ethernet Combo cards, Force10 provides an optional snap-in faceplate patch panel for termination of fiber optic cables (4-port SC duplex adapter module for SM/MM) and Category 5 cables (RJ-45 modular jack) for flexibility and better identification of pairs terminated at the intermediate patch panel.

SCM, Fiber Assignments, and SFPs

The Traverse shelf also provides a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector module (SCM) to support high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for the 10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE-10) and 8-port OC-48 cards.

The GbE-10 and 8-port OC-48 cards must be ordered with a 10-port SFP connector module (SCM).

Note: Although a 10-port SFP connector module is used with the 8-port OC-48 card, only 8 ports on the SCM are used.

Connector Module Type. The Traverse supports this connector module type:

The 2-slot SCM occupies the width of two slots, as shown below. For example, the SCM for slots 1 and 2 plugs into the 2 mm connectors for slot number 2 (n+1=2). The SCM plugs into any even slot, and the lowest slot in the card pair is the protecting slot.

In the figure of the Traverse shelf below, all of the even main backplane 2 mm connectors are chosen and shown in dark gray. The outline of the 2-slot SCM for slots 1 and 2 is shown in light gray.

SFP Types. The 10-port GbE (GbE-10) card provides up to ten 802.3z-compliant optical or electrical GbE ports of customer-installable Small Form Factor Pluggable optics (SFPs) using an SFP connector module (SCM). The SFPs can be in any mix of pluggable SFP-based 1000Base-SX, -LX, or -ZX optical or 1000Base-TX electrical interfaces.

For information on the Traverse-supported SFPs used on the 10-port GbE cards, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 8—“Gigabit Ethernet-only Cards (Dual-slot),” 10-Port GbE Card, 10-port GbE SFP Types. For information on SFPs supported by Traverse for the 8-port OC-48 cards, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 10—“SONET/SDH Cards,” 8-Port OC-48 Card, 8-port OC-48 Card SFP Types.

3 These values account for the connector loss from connection to the optical interface and the worst case optical path penalty.


General SCM Housing to Optical Fiber Port Assignment. The following diagram details the SFP LC connector fiber port assignments and SCM housing position. It describes the cables and which fibers are used for the various cards. Depending on the cable type, use either the fiber position number or multi-color code scheme and the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) indicators to clarify the optical fiber assignment.

Optical GbE Port Protection

Use of an optical coupler/splitter cable can extend protection to the optical (GbE or 10GbE) ports on NGE, NGE Plus, 1-port GbE, 10-port GbE, or EoPDH cards in a 1:1 equipment protection group. For more inform ai ton on optical GbE port protection, see the TransNav Management System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 15—“Overview of Protection Groups,” Optical GbE Port Protection.

For instructions to create and configure protection groups, see the TransNav Management System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 15—“Overview of Protection Groups.”

DS1 and E1 ECM Placement

The DS1/E1 and E1 ECMs plug into the main backplane 2 mm connectors of any valid odd or even slot. The 2-slot DS1/E1 ECM design provides direct cable access to one (n+1) or two (either n and n+1 or n and n+2) cards (depending on the protection cabling scheme used) and occupies the width of two slots on the main backplane. The 3-slot E1 ECM design provides direct cable access to two cards (either n and n+1 or n and n+2, depending on the protection scheme) and occupies the width of three slots (n, n+1, and n+2) on the main backplane. Plug the ECM into the right-most (n) or center (n+1) 2 mm connectors for 2-slot ECMs, depending on the protection scheme, and the center (n+1) 2 mm connectors for 3-slot ECMs, as seen from the rear view of the shelf.

For a graphical representation, see Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications,” ECM Placement at the Traverse Main Backplane.

DS1 and E1 Card Cabling Schemes

DS1 and E1 card cabling schemes are as follows:• Traverse 2000 DS1 and E1 Card Cabling Schemes• Traverse 1600 DS1 and E1 Card Cabling Schemes• Traverse 600 DS1 and E1 Card Cabling Schemes

Traverse 2000 DS1 and E1 Card Cabling Schemes

Chapter 4 DS3 and E3 Interface Cabling Specifications

Introduction The Traverse main backplane supports cabling and 1:1 and 1:2 equipment protection switching for 12-port DS3/EC-1 Transmux, 24-port DS3/EC-1 Universal Transmux (UTMX-24), 24-port DS3/EC-1 Universal Transmux (UTMX-48), and 12- or 24-port DS3/E3/EC-1 CC cards using DS3/E3 electrical connector modules (ECM). This protection is available for systems commissioned as ADM or DCS-IO.

In addition to the electrical equipment protection, the DS3/EC-1 Transmux card supports 1:N equipment protection for high-density optical transmux applications (STS1-TMX mode), where N=1 to 12 in a Traverse 2000. One card protects all remaining adjacent cards. This application has no ECM requirement. (SONET network only)

For UTMX-24 and UTMX-48 cards, the Traverse also supports 1:4 equipment protection when all the facilities (both physical and logical) are configured in STS1-TMX mode. This protection is available for systems commissioned as DCS-IO. One card protects up to four associated working cards. This application has no ECM requirement. (SONET network only)

This chapter includes the following topics:• DS3/E3 ECM Placement• DS3/E3 Card Cabling Schemes• DS3/E3 ECM Mapping

For cabling procedures, see Chapter 15—“DS3 and E3 Cabling Procedures.”

For general ECM information, see Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications.”

Important: The Traverse system supports 1:2 equipment protection only for the above listed cards.


DS3/E3 ECM Placement

DS3/E3 ECMs allow DS3 and E3 cabling using industry-standard coax cable (AT&T 734A or 735A equivalent, depending on the card type) with male 75 ohm BNC or Mini-SMB connectors on the front and two 2 mm type B connectors on the back.

The DS3/E3 ECM plugs into the main backplane 2 mm connectors of any valid odd or even slot. The 2-slot DS3/E3 ECM design provides direct cable access to one card (n+1) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the main backplane. The 3-slot DS3/E3 ECM design provides direct cable access to two cards (either n and n+1 or n and n+2, depending on the protection scheme) and occupies the width of three slots (n, n+1, and n+2) on the main backplane. Plug the ECM into the right-most (n) 2 mm connectors for 2-slot ECMs, depending on the protection scheme, and the center (n+1) 2 mm connectors for 3-slot ECMs, as seen from the rear view of the shelf.


DS3/E3 Card Cabling Schemes

DS3/E3 card cabling schemes are as follows:• Traverse 2000 DS3/E3 Card Cabling Schemes• Traverse 1600 DS3/E3 Card Cabling Schemes• Traverse 600 DS3/E3 Card Cabling Schemes

Chapter 5 Ethernet (Electrical) Interface Cabling Specifications

Introduction The Traverse system supports electrical interface cabling for protected and unprotected next-generation Ethernet (NGE) Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) NGE Plus, and Ethernet over PDH (EoPDH) cards.

Note: The term “NGE” refers to both the NGE and NGE Plus cards in this document, unless otherwise noted.

This chapter includes the following topics:• NGE and EoPDH Card Protection Description• NGE and EoPDH Card Types• Ethernet Protection ECM Placement• Ethernet Protection ECM for Electrical 1:1 Protection• ECM Pinout and Cable Color Code for Electrical NGE and EoPDH Ports• Ethernet Protection ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards• 10/100BaseT ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards

For electrical Ethernet cabling procedures, see Chapter 16—“Ethernet (Electrical) Cabling Procedures.”

For general electrical connector card (ECM) information, see Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications.”

Important: For optical Ethernet specifications, cabling, and protection (for EoPDH, NGE, NGE Plus, 10GbE, and GbE-10 cards), see Chapter 1—“Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications.”


NGE and EoPDH Card Protection Description

The Traverse system supports electrical interface cabling for protected and unprotected NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards.

Note: For specifications about 1:1 optical equipment protection, see Chapter 1—“Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications,” Optical GbE Port Protection.

Electrical protection is available for like cards and on both electrical Gigabit (GbE TX) and Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseTX) port interfaces.• 1:1 electrical equipment protection for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards

using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM• Unprotected electrical equipment scheme for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH

cards using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM • Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) is available for the NGE Plus and EoPDH cards

using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM. CEP is a unique type of protection switching. A CEP Pair (CEPP) is a logical pairing of two NGE Plus or EoPDH cards operating as one Ethernet switch to aggregate the traffic from twice the number of physical ports (40 physical Ethernet ports) as that of a single card. While a CEPP can use all of the physical Ethernet ports of two cards, it uses the 64 EOS ports of the working card only for transport.NGE Plus or EoPDH cards in a CEPP protection group cannot simultaneously be in a 1:1 equipment protection group; these protection groups are mutually exclusive. NGE Plus or EoPDH cards not in a CEPP function exactly as an NGE card.Force10 recommends adjacent card configuration for the CEPP, although the cards can be non-adjacent. To create CEPP protection groups, see the TransNav Management System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 15—“Overview of Protection Groups.”

NGE and EoPDH Card Types

Force10 Networks offers these single-slot GbE/FE interface combination cards:

46 Chapter 5 Ethernet (Electrical) Interface Cabling Specifications

Ethernet Protection ECM Placement

The Ethernet Protection ECM allows NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH electrical port cabling using Category 5 twisted-pair copper cable with Telco 50 connectors. The ECM has two Telco 50 connectors on the front and two 2 mm type B connectors on the back.

The Ethernet Protection ECM plugs into the main backplane two 2 mm connectors of any valid odd or even slot. The 2-slot design provides direct cable access to one card (n+1 of the pair) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the backplane. Plug the ECM into the 2 mm connectors of the right-most slot (n) as seen from the rear view of the shelf.


Ethernet Protection ECM for Electrical 1:1 Protection

The Ethernet Protection ECM supports the 1:1 electrical equipment protection cabling for the NGE, NGE Plus, or EoPDH card GbE TX and 10/100BaseTX interface ports.1 The 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM provides direct cable access to one card (n+1) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the main backplane.

Port Mapping Scheme

Port mapping schemes vary depending on the Ethernet card type:• 4-port GbE (LX, SX, or CWDM) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 4-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP• 4-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP and EoPDH• 2-port GbE SX plus 2-port GbE CWDM (40 km) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX

Ports 1 through 4 on these cards are optical ports. Ports 5 through 20 are 10/100 electrical interface ports. Connect the 16 electrical interface ports as follows:– Ports 5 through 8 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 9–12)– Ports 9 through 20 connect to the second Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS

13–24)• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP

and EoPDHPorts 3 and 4 on these cards are optical ports. Ports 1and 2 are GbE TX electrical interface ports. Ports 5 through 20 are 10/100 electrical interface ports. Connect the 2 GbE TX and 16 10/100 electrical interface ports as follows:– Ports 1and 2 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 1–2)– Ports 5 through 8 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 9–12)– Ports 9 through 20 connect to the second Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS

13–24)

Ethernet Protection ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards

The Ethernet Protection ECM also supports an unprotected scheme for NGE, NGE Plus or EoPDH card GbE-TX and 10/100BaseTX ports. Although, Force10 recommends you use the 10/100BaseT ECM (described in 10/100BaseT ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards) for greater port capacity. The 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM provides direct cable access to one card (n+1) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the main backplane. See Port Mapping Scheme and ECM Pinout and Cable Color Code for Electrical NGE and EoPDH Ports.

Chapter 6 Alarm Interface Specifications

Introduction This chapter includes the following topics:• Alarm Interface Description• Alarm Output Wire-Wrap Posts• Alarm Output Contacts• Environmental Alarm Wire-Wrap Posts and EAM• Environmental Alarm Input Contacts

Alarm Interface Description

The General Control Module (GCM) card generates Traverse system alarm signals and provides the common (COM), normally-open (NO), and normally-closed (NC0 contacts through individual relays. The Traverse system supports standard system critical, major, minor; visual and audible alarms. Access to system alarm contacts is provided via wire-wrap posts located on the Traverse 1600, Traverse 2000, and Traverse 600 main backplanes.

Normally-open Contacts

System alarms operate by default using the COM and NO contacts. When an alarm state occurs, the circuit between the COM and NO contacts is closed generating a visual or audible alarm. Alarm contacts are bridged between the active and standby GCMs. A single GCM is capable of generating and maintaining system alarms if the standby GCM is out of service.

Fail-safe Alarm

All system alarms are masked and a fail-safe alarm is generated if both GCMs go out-of-service. The fail-safe alarm is the only normally-closed alarm. The fail-safe alarm is generated when GCMs are installed and operational, and then go into an out-of-service state. The fail-safe alarm is also generated when both GCMs are physically removed from the Traverse shelf.

Environmental Alarms

The Traverse backplane provides hardware support for sixteen environmental alarm inputs. The environmental telemetry inputs and outputs are supported by the optional Environmental Alarm Module (EAM) located on the main backplane. The EAM provides additional system-management functions to accommodate customer-defined


alarm input/output requirements. The module is field replaceable and can be replaced without disconnecting the alarm wiring. Environmental alarms only support normally-open (NO) contacts.

Alarm Output Wire-Wrap Posts

The Traverse main backplane provide access to system alarm contacts via 0.045-inch (1.1 mm) square wire-wrap posts on 0.200-inch (0.5 mm) centers. The following graphic shows where these wire-wrap posts are located on the Traverse main backplane.

Important: Each set of system alarms provides common (COM), normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) contacts. All alarms, except the fail-safe alarm, are connected using the NO and COM contacts. Connect the fail-safe alarm using NC and COM contacts.


Environmental Alarm Wire-Wrap Posts and EAM

The Traverse 1600 and Traverse 2000 main backplanes provide access to environmental alarm contacts via 0.045-inch (1.1 mm) square wire-wrap posts on 0.200-inch (0.5 mm) centers. Reporting of environmental alarm inputs and outputs requires an Environmental Alarm Module (EAM) plugged into the EAM connector. The following graphic shows where these wire-wrap posts and the EAM connector are located on the Traverse main backplane. If the EAM is not plugged into the main backplane refer to the Operations and Maintenance Guide, Chapter 16—“Routine Maintenance,” Environmental Alarm Module Replacement (Traverse only) for placement instructions.

Backplane DCN Ethernet and RS-232 DTE Interface

The backplane DCN Ethernet and RS-232 DTE interfaces are supported by shielded vertical 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on the main backplane.

Backplane DCN Ethernet. The Traverse system provides a data communications network (DCN) to connect a Traverse node to the TransNav Management System and to other remote management devices. The DCN Ethernet interface is located on the Traverse main backplane. Only the active General Control Module (GCM) has a physical connection to the DCN Ethernet RJ-45 connector. Ethernet signals are bridged to both the working and protect GCM cards for communication to Traverse nodes. This enables the TransNav Management System to always talk to the working GCM, even after a protection switch.

A network of Traverse nodes can be managed over the service provider’s DCN as long as one Traverse node is directly connected to that network through the DCN Ethernet interface. This node is referred to as the Traverse Management Gateway Node (MGN). Traverse nodes that have no direct connection to a DCN can communicate with the TransNav system indirectly, through the Traverse Management Gateway node via the data communications channel (DCC) of an OC-12 or OC-48 card interface.

The backplane DCN Ethernet interface also allows telnet access directly to any Traverse node in the network through the DCC.

The DCN Ethernet interface is a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface type, supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseT, supports half- and full-duplex modes, and is compliant to IEEE 802.3 signal definition for an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. Pinouts for the DCN Ethernet interface are provided in the following table.

Note: Although this interface is set to auto-negotiate between 10/100BaseT and half- and full-duplex modes, Force10 recommends a 100BaseT with half-duplex configuration.

Backplane RS-232 DTE. The RS-232 DTE interface may be used to connect with an external modem (DB-25) or PC laptop (DB-9) using a RJ-45 to DB-25 or RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. The RS-232 interface is compliant to EIA/TIA–561 signal definition for RS-232 DTE device on an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. This interface provides serial communication to the active GCM in the Traverse shelf. Pinouts for the RS-232 interface, including DB-9 and DB-25, are provided in the following table.

Chapter 9 Power Interface Specifications

Introduction This chapter includes the following specifications:• Power System Interface• Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP) Description• Fan Tray Holder Power Interface

Power System Interface

Redundant central office battery and battery return connects to a fuse panel. A fuse panel can distribute battery and battery return to up to four Traverse shelves and typically up to five pieces of auxiliary equipment in a rack.

Fuse panels have two DC power inputs (Battery ‘A’ and Battery ‘B’). Each of these inputs is capable of supplying power to the Traverse system during central office maintenance operations. The recommended gauge wire for power cabling is #8 AWG (9mm2) for Force10’s PDAP-4S or #12 AWG (3.3 mm2) for Force10’s PDAP-15A.

For Traverse power terminal locations, refer to any one of the Traverse rear view graphics in the Traverse Hardware Guide for the desired shelf.

For power consumption values, refer to the Planning and Engineering Guide, Chapter 1—“Traverse Equipment Specifications,” Power Consumption.

Important: Carefully plan your power supply capacity. The Force10 PDAP-4S with standard 40 amp fuses at -40 VDC provides 1600 watts. Force10 recommends using higher amperage fuses if your power requirements go above a minimum of 1400 watts. If you fail to make sufficient plans to meet the power requirements of your specific configuration, and the power draw goes above the maximum capacity of your power supply design, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip, resulting in a loss of traffic.


Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP) Description

The Traverse system is powered by central office battery (–48 VDC). Redundant central office (CO) battery and battery return is connected to the Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP). Isolate DC power returns from frame ground (DC-I).• PDAP-4S• PDAP-15A

The PDAP provides the following:• Terminates redundant –48 VDC central office battery• Terminates central office battery return• Distributes redundant battery and battery return• Provides power protection for Traverse shelves and auxiliary equipment• Visually display input power, fuse power, and critical, major, and minor bay alarms

PDAP-4S The PDAP-4S distributes battery and battery return to up to four Traverse 1600 or Traverse 2000 shelves in a rack. It provides power protection with 40 amp TPA fuses for up to four Traverse shelves and GMT fuses (from 0.25 amps to 15 amps per fuse) for up to 5 pieces of auxiliary equipment. Power, fuse and visual alarm input connections are made at the back of the PDAP-4S.1 Audible, remote visual and audible, fail-safe and environmental alarm connections are made at the Traverse main backplane. Optional visual alarm external switch connections are available on the PDAP-4S.

For more information on PDAP-4S, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 5—“Power Distribution and Alarm Panels,” PDAP-4S.

PDAP-15A The PDAP-15A distributes battery and battery return to Traverse 600 shelves. The PDAP-15A provides GMT fuses (from 0.25 amps to 15 amps per fuse) for up to ten pieces of auxiliary equipment. The PDAP’s field replaceable fuses are accessible without having to remove the front panel. Force10 recommends using a 3 amp fuse per power feeder for the TE-100 and a 5 amp fuse per power feeder for the Traverse 600.

The PDAP-15A provides visual alarm status indicators for input power, fuse power, and critical, major, and minor bay alarms.

For more information on PDAP-4S, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 5—“Power Distribution and Alarm Panels,” PDAP-15A.

1 Optional PDAP-4S TPA fuses are available up to a 50 amp maximum.

Traverse SCM Fiber Optic Cable Routing

Fiber optic cables route down from the SCM and over the cable management bar mounted on the Traverse 1600 or Traverse 2000 system to route out to the right or left side of the shelf (from the rear view), and continue routing up the rack to intermediate patch panels. See Figure 16 Traverse Shelves with Copper/Coax Cable Management Bars for an example of SCM fiber optic and copper/coax cable management.

The SCM backplane device provides for the physical connection of the GbE-10 links to the Traverse. The SCM supports pluggable SFPs. It has ten SFP receptacles, into which the operator can insert Force10 recommended SFPs.

Figure 14 GbE-10 SFP Connector Module (SCM)

Copper/Coax Cable Management

Copper and coax cable routing is as follows:• Traverse 1600 and Traverse 2000 Copper and Coax Cable Routing• Traverse 600 Copper and Coax Cable Routing

Traverse 1600 and Traverse 2000 Copper and Coax Cable Routing

Copper and coax cables tie-wrap to the cable management bar(s), route out to the right or left side of the Traverse shelf (from the rear view), and continue routing up the rack to intermediate patch panels. Two optional cable management bars are available with each Traverse system. Mount one cable management bar (and optionally use a second bar) for any copper cabling exiting the rear of the shelf. Mount two cable management bars for strain relief with Mini-SMB ECM cabling.

Important: Always wear a properly grounded Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist strap when making cable connections to the fiber optic backplane.

Important: Fiber optic cable is very fragile. Be careful when handling and routing the cable. Do not make any bends or coils in the cable less than 1½ inches (3.8 mm) in diameter. Kinks or sharp bends in the cable can cause signal distortion.

Chapter 11 Network Interface Cabling Overview

Introduction Traverse network interface cabling support for optical fiber and electrical (copper and coax) cards is identified in the following sections.:• Fiber Optic Cabling• Cable Tags and Designations• Electrical Connector Module Cabling• Installation of Fiber Paper• Installation of Clear Heat Shrink

For ECM specifications, see Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications.”

Fiber Optic Cabling

The Traverse shelf uses MPX optical fiber connectors to provide high-capacity and high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for optical interface cards: SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet.

The Traverse shelf also provides a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector module (SCM) to support high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for the 10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE-10) card. The GbE-10 card must be ordered with a 10-port SFP connector module (SCM).

See Chapter 13—“Fiber Optic Cabling Procedures.”

Electrical Connector Module Cabling

The Traverse shelf uses electrical connector modules (ECMs) to provide easy-operation connection for copper and coax interface cards using industry-standard cables and connectors.

This section includes the following electrical network interface cabling chapters:• Chapter 14—“DS1 and E1 Cabling Procedures”• Chapter 15—“DS3 and E3 Cabling Procedures”• Chapter 16—“Ethernet (Electrical) Cabling Procedures”

Cable Tags and Designations

Force10 recommends that all cables have designation tags on each end displaying the termination point from which they are cabled.

Installation of Fiber Paper

Force10 recommends that all cables (data, voice and power) be wrapped in fiber paper when it exits the racking and again as it enters the cabinet or the relay rack.


Installation of Clear Heat Shrink

Force10 recommends that all compression connectors (crimp lugs) have clear heat shrink applied. This process allows for inspection of the crimp, verification of the die code, as well as viewing the cable in the inspection hole.

Inserting and Removing SFPs at the SCM

The Traverse shelf comes equipped with GbE-10 and 8-port OC-48 cards. The GbE-10 cards support GbE SX, LX, ZX, and TX SFP transceivers at the 1-port GbE SCM. On the 10-port GbE card, optical and electrical SFPs can be mixed on the same ECM. The SFPs on the 8-port OC-48 cards are optical only.

Each SCM has ten sockets for SFPs. The SFPs are hot swappable, i.e., they can be removed or inserted while the system is on.

SFP latches vary, depending on the manufacturer. The procedures below show SFPs with bale-clasp latches. Some SFPs have tabs on the bottom that click into place when inserted. To remove these SFPs, grasp the SFP between thumb and forefinger, pressing the latch to release it as you pull the SFP gently from the socket.

11 Replace the cover on the fiber cable management tray to hold the cables in place. Refer to the Traverse Hardware Installation and Commissioning Guide, Chapter 4—“Removing and Replacing Back Covers” for detailed instructions.
