Note Some cables described in this chapter have no associated order number. Such cables are not offered for sale by Cisco Systems. They are widely available from other vendors as standard items.


LS2020 Function Cards/Access Cards

An LS2020 chassis incorporates both function (line) cards and associated access cards. A variety of line cards may be used to populate the available slots in the front of an LS2020 chassis, depending on the user's communication requirements. Associated access cards, which are field replaceable units (FRUs), are then used to populate the corresponding slots at the rear of the LS2020 chassis.

Together with their associated line cards, the access cards provide data transfer services for an LS2020 switch by means of physical interfaces to which other network devices can be connected. Each line card is connected to its corresponding access card through the chassis midplane. If you remove an access card from the chassis, service to the associated line card is disrupted.

Table 3-1 shows the functional categories of line cards available for use with the LS2020 switch and how they may be combined with various access cards to provide data transfer services within an LS2020 network.

Low-Speed Access Cards, Connectors, and Cables

This section describes the connectors and data cables for the X.21, RS-449, and V.35 I/O interfaces for the serial access cards available for the LS2020 switch. These cards are of two types:

Figure 3-2 shows the bulkhead view of these access cards.

Figure 3-2 : Low-Speed Access Cards

Medium-Speed Access Cards, Connectors, and Cables

This section describes the connectors and cables for the medium-speed access card (MSAC), as well as for the T3 and E3 access cards (T3AC and E3AC). These facilities are described in the following order:

  • Connectors on the medium-speed, 2-port access card (MSAC). See Figure 3-15.

  • The 75-ohm coaxial data cable used to connect the medium speed access cards (MSAC) and the T3/E3 access cards (T3AC and E3AC) to external devices. See Figure 3-16.

  • Connectors on the medium-speed, 4-port and 8-port T3 and E3 access cards (T3AC and E3AC). See Figure 3-17.

  • Cable harness used to connect the T3/E3 access cards (T3AC and E3AC) to an associated fantail (dressing panel). See Figure 3-18.


T3 Medium-Speed Access Card (Two-Port)

Figure 3-15 shows a physical representation of the two-port T3 medium-speed access card (MSAC). This access card operates in conjunction with a medium-speed line card (MSC).

The MSAC is a first-generation access card that is available in three versions for the performing of different types of data transfer services:

  • T3---Also referred to as DS3 (digital signal level 3); this is a wide-area transmission scheme used by an MSAC for medium-speed communications within an LS2020 network.

  • E3 G.804---G.804 is a framing standard used by the E3 G.804 version of the MSAC for mapping ATM cells onto physical media.

  • E3 PLCP---PLCP is a physical layer convergence protocol used by the E3 PLCP version of the MSAC for mapping ATM cells onto physical media.

Although different versions of the MSAC are available for performing different types of data transfer services, the bulkheads of these access cards are identical in appearance and make use of the same cables for interconnection purposes.


Note The first-generation, two-port, T3 medium-speed access cards listed above are no longer orderable. Instead, second-generation, T3/E3 medium-speed access cards are available that provide greater reliability and higher port density. These second-generation cards are described below in the section entitled "T3/E3 Medium-Speed Access Cards (Four-Port/Eight-Port)."

Figure 3-15 : Medium-speed Access Card (2-Port)

h4804.gif

Interface connector type: 75-ohm coaxial BNC jack

Connectors per MSAC card: four (two receive channels and two transmit channels)


75-Ohm Coaxial Data Cable

Figure 3-16 is a physical representation of the 75-ohm coaxial data cable available for use in making connections directly to the BNC connectors on the medium-speed access card (MSAC). In addition, this cable can be used as a means of external connection to or from the BNC connector on the T3/E3 fantail (see the section entitled "T3/E3 Fantail and Cable Harness" and Figure 3-18).

Figure 3-16 : 75-ohm Coaxial Data Cable

h3399.gif

The 75-ohm coaxial data cable has the following applications:

  • Connecting two LS2020 switches via their T3, E3 G.804, or E3 PLCP medium-speed access cards (MSACs)

  • Connecting an LS2020 T3, E3 G.804, or E3 PLCP medium-speed access card (MSAC) to an external device

  • Connecting two LS2020 switches via their T3/E3 access cards (T3ACs/E3ACs)

  • Connecting an LS2020 T3/E3 access card (T3AC/E3AC to an external device

The 75-ohm coaxial cable is available from Cisco Systems in four different lengths. Use the appropriate order number from the table below.

72-1001-01 100 feet (30.5 m) LS-CAB-T3-CX100=


T3/E3 Medium-Speed Access Cards (Four-Port/Eight-Port)

Figure 3-17 shows a physical representation of the medium-speed T3/E3 access cards (T3AC/E3AC). The T3AC and E3AC are second-generation, medium-speed access cards that operate in conjunction with cell line cards (CLCs). These cards, available in either 4-port or 8-port versions, provide greater reliability and higher port density than the 2-port medium-speed access card.

Figure 3-17 : Medium-Speed T3/E3 Access Cards (4-Port/8-Port)

h3631.gif

Interface connector type: SMB connectors at the access card bulkhead and the rear of the T3/E3 fantail; BNC connectors at the front of the T3/E3 fantail (see Figure 3-18).

Connectors per access card: 8 or 16 SMB connectors, depending on the number of ports (either 4 or 8) on the T3/E3 access card. Each port has one receive connector and one transmit connector.


T3/E3 Fantail and Cable Harness

Figure 3-18 shows the T3/E3 fantail (dressing panel) containing 16 BNC connectors for external 75-ohm hookup, together with the cable harness that provides the means for direct connection between the back of the T3/E3 fantail and the SMB connectors on a T3AC or an E3AC access card. The T3/E3 fantail and cable harness, although shown together in Figure 3-18, are available separately. Ordering information for these items is provided in the tables below.

Circuit Emulation Access Cards, Connectors, and Cables

The circuit emulation access card (CEMAC) is available in two versions:

  • T1 CEMAC---For operation as only a 120-ohm interface without a fantail.

  • E1 CEMAC---For operation as either a 120-ohm interface (the default factory setting) without a fantail or as a 75-ohm interface with an E1 fantail equipped with either BNC or SMZ connectors.

Figure 3-19 shows the T1 and E1 CEMAC cards; the bulkhead views of these cards are identical, except for the identifying "T1" or "E1" nomenclature near the bottom of the bulkhead.

The E1 CEMAC card embodies user-settable jumpers that are configured initially at the factory for 120-ohm operation without a fantail. However, if you wish to configure the E1 CEMAC for 75-ohm operation with an E1 fantail, you must set these on-board jumpers accordingly.

For detailed information about setting the E1 CEMAC card jumpers, see the LightStream 2020 Hardware Reference & Troubleshooting Guide.

Figure 3-19 : T1 and E1 CEMAC Cards

h4809.gif

Figure 3-20 shows a component side view of the CEMAC card, together with its bulkhead connector, and an associated data cable.

To securely attach the data cable to the CEMAC card, unscrew the top mounting screw in the connector retention bracket (shown as "1" in Figure 3-20) and reposition it in the connector (as shown in "2"). Tighten down the mounting screw to attach the data cable to the bulkhead (as shown in "3"). Finally, secure the cable to the CEMAC bulkhead with the Velcro strip.

Figure 3-20 : Securing Data Cable to CEMAC Bulkhead Connector

Note Since the T1 CEMAC card does not support a fantail, the user is responsible for obtaining a suitable cable for 120-ohm hookup to the T1 CEMAC bulkhead. Such a cable is readily available that conforms to the pin assignments outlined in Table 3-2.


E1 Fantail

Figure 3-21 shows the E1 fantail required for using the E1 CEMAC card in a 75-ohm mode of operation. Note that the E1 fantail is available in either of two versions: one equipped with BNC connectors, and one equipped with SMZ connectors. For convenience, Figure 3-21 illustrates both connector types on the fantail, although they are not intermixed in actual use.

Figure 3-21 : E1 Fantail

h3632.gif

Refer to the LightStream 2020 Hardware Reference & Troubleshooting Guide for information about configuring the TX GND and RX GND jumpers on the E1 fantail.


E1 Fantail Cable

A 50-pin data cable is used as the means of interconnection between the bulkhead connector on the E1 CEMAC card and the back of the E1 fantail. Figure 3-22 illustrates this cable.

The E1 fantail data cable is available from Cisco Systems in three lengths. Use the appropriate order number from the table below.

Note Some MAUs (medium access units) have a built-in crossover function and use straight-through cables, instead of crossover cables. The ports on such MAUs are marked with the letter X.

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

Figure 3-30 shows a physical representation of the Ethernet 10BaseT (twisted pair) crossover cable and provides a schematic diagram of its pinout assignments.

Fiber Ethernet Access Card Data Cable

This cable is used to connect a multimode fiber (10Base-FL) Ethernet access card in an LS2020 chassis to another fiber Ethernet device.

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

The LS2020 fiber Ethernet interfaces operate at a wavelength of 850 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. Also, protective covers are provided for all fiber Ethernet access card connectors and data cables. To shield connectors and cables from dust and damage (thereby minimizing the potential for signal attenuation and data loss), keep these covers in place on any FEAC ports or cables that are not in use.

Figure 3-34 illustrates the multimode fiber Ethernet access card data cable.

RS-232 Straight-Through Data Cable

This cable is used to connect the LS2020 console port or modem port to an external console or modem.

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

Figure 3-37 shows a schematic diagram of the RS-232 straight-through data cable.

BITS Interface (Release 2 Switch Card)

The Release 2 switch card incorporates a building-integrated timing source (BITS) interface for constant bit rate (CBR) applications. The BITS interface is a receive-only T1 line that extracts only the clock signal from a T1 line (the data is discarded). The clock signals provide a highly stable time reference for use in an LS2020 chassis or network. Figure 3-38 shows the bulkhead view of the Release 2 switch card and defines the pinout assignments of the BITS CLK port.

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 3-3, 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 3-3 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.
