Cables and Connectors

This chapter describes the I/O interfaces, the data cables, and power cordsets required in using the LS2020 enterprise ATM switch. These facilities are described in the following order:

Signal diagrams are provided for each I/O connector and data cable.

For most cables, two part numbers are provided in an associated table in the body of the chapter: the manufacturing number (which appears on the cable itself); and the order number (which is used in ordering the cable from Cisco Systems). Cables without associated order numbers are not available from Cisco Systems; such cables are widely available from other vendors as standard items.


Cable Drawing Conventions

Figure 3-1 shows the conventions used in representing the signal paths in the LS2020 I/O interface connectors and data cables illustrated in this chapter.

Circuit Emulation Access Card (CEMAC) Connectors and Cables

Figure 3-11 shows the CEMAC card and its associated data cable. To make a more secure connection, unscrew the top mounting screw (shown as "1" in the figure) in the connector retention bracket and reposition it in the connector (as shown by "2" in the figure). Next, tighten down the mounting screw to attach the data cable to the CEMAC card securely (as shown by "3" in the figure). Finally, secure the cable to the CEMAC bulkhead connector with the Velcro strip.

Where used: To connect a multimode OC-3c access card on an LS2020 switch to another OC-3c device.

Cisco Systems does not provide this cable; it is widely available from other vendors.

The LS2020 OC-3c interfaces operate at a wavelength of 1300 nanometers. Multimode cables should conform to the following specifications:

Standard: ISO/IEC 9314-3

Maximum path length (all cables in a connection, end to end): 2 km

Cabling: 62.5 micron core with an optical loss of 0-9 dB, or 50 micron core with an optical loss of 7 dB.


Note A single fiber link should not mix 62.5 and 50 micron cable.


Note Protective covers are provided for all OC-3c access cards and cable connectors. To shield connectors from dust and damage, keep covers on any connectors that are not being used.

Figure 3-19 shows a multimode OC-3c cable with simplex SC connectors.

Figure 3-19 : Multimode OC-3c Cable with Simplex SC Connectors

h3401.gif


Note Multimode OC-3c cables are available with both simplex SC connectors (as shown in Figure 3-19) and duplex SC connectors; both connector types are compatible with LS2020 multimode access cards. However, the use of duplex SC connectors is preferred because they are keyed in a way that prevents incorrect connections.


Single Mode OC-3c Cable

Where used: To connect a single mode OC-3c access card on an LS2020 switch to another OC-3c device. Cisco Systems does not provide this cable; it is widely available from other sources.

The LS2020 OC-3c interfaces operate at a wavelength of 1300 nanometers. Single mode cables should conform to the following specifications:

Standard: EIA class IVa

Cabling: 8.3 micron core with an optical loss of 0-12 dB and a maximum cable attenuation of 500 MHz/km at 1300 nanometers.


Note Protective covers are provided for all OC-3c access cards and cable connectors. To shield connectors from dust and damage, keep covers on any connectors that are not being used.

Country Kits and Power Cordsets


AC-Powered LightStream 2020 Systems

A variety of power cordsets is available for AC-powered LS2020 switches. These cordsets are available either with systems or as spare parts. This section enables you to choose the proper cordset for your LS2020 site.

If you are specifying a cordset as part of a new system order, refer to the LS2020 Price List or the Products Catalogue and order the appropriate Country Power Kit. Doing so ensures that you will also receive the appropriate labels and instructions for the country of destination.

If you want to check the cordset included in a specific Country Power Kit, refer to Table 3-2, which cross-references cordset product numbers and Country Power Kit models.

If you need to order a replacement cordset that is not part of a Country Power Kit, you must reference the cordset's part number. This part number (P/N) appears above each cordset illustrated in the following section entitled "LightStream 2020 AC Power Cordsets."


DC-powered LightStream 2020 Systems

A DC-powered system does not use a detachable power cord. The DC power cord must be permanently wired to a DC power source. Therefore, in place of a Country Power Kit, each DC-powered system is shipped with a DC Mounting Kit, Order Number L2020-PWR-DC=.


LightStream 2020 AC Power Cordsets

Each LS2020 AC power tray is equipped with one recessed male power inlet. The power connectors follow IEC Standard 320 C20 and require cordsets with an IEC 320 C19 female connector. (All cordsets offered by Cisco Systems for the LS2020 switch have IEC 320 C19 female connectors.)

Table 3-2 summarizes the specifications of AC power cordsets. The table lists the country of use, cordset rating, plug type, part number, and Country Power Kit for each cordset.
