Each HSSI port on the HIP, PA-H, PA-2H, or NP-1HSSI uses a female, 50-pin, SCSI-II-type connector.
 | Caution Although the HSSI connector and the HSSI cable are similar to SCSI-II format, they are not identical. The HSSI cable specification is more stringent than that for SCSI-II. If you use a SCSI-II cable instead of an HSSI cable, proper operation cannot be guaranteed. |
Two types of cables are available for use with a HSSI ports:
Figure 1 shows the HSSI cable CAB-HSI1= (Part Number 72-0710-xx). Table 1 provides pinouts. The cable has a male DB-50 (SCSI) connector on each end. Refer to "Connecting the HSSI Cable" for connection instructions.

Connect the HSSI cable between the router and a T3, E3, or SONET DSU as shown in Figure 3 (HIP), Figure 4 (PA-H), or Figure 5 (NP-1HSSI).
For additional information, such as how to configure the interface, refer to the configuration note that shipped with your HIP, PA-H, PA-2H, or NP-1HSSI.

To connect two routers directly, back-to-back, connect the null modem cable between the HSSI ports in two separate routers. The two routers must be in the same location and can be two Cisco 4000 series routers, two Cisco 7000 series routers, two Cisco 7200 series routers, two Cisco 7500 series, two Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, or any two routers of each router series listed. A null modem connection allows you to verify the operation of the HSSI or to link the routers directly in order to build a larger node.
Figure 6 shows cable connection for two HIP boards, and Figure 7 shows cable connection for two NP-1HSSI network processor modules.
