This chapter describes the interconnection facilities available for the various device interfaces supported by the LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switch (LS2020 switch). These facilities are described in this chapter in the following order:
Signal diagrams are provided for the I/O connectors and data cables described in this chapter. Figure 3-1 shows the conventions used in representing the signal paths in these interconnection facilities.
For most LS2020 interconnection cables, two part numbers are shown in an associated table in the body of this chapter:
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.

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:
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 performing different types of data transfer services, as indicated below:
Although different versions of the MSAC are available for performing different types of data transfer services as described above, the bulkheads of these access cards are identical in appearance and make use of the same cables for interconnection purposes.
Interface connector type: 75-ohm coaxial BNC jack
Connectors per MSAC card: four (two receive channels and two transmit channels)
Figure 3-16 is a physical representation of the 75-ohm coaxial data cable available for use in connecting 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).
Applications for the 75-ohm coaxial data cable include the following:
The 75-ohm coaxial cable is available from Cisco Systems in four different lengths. Use the appropriate number from the table below for ordering purposes.

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 four-port or eight-port versions, provide greater reliability and higher port density than the 2-port medium-speed access card.
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.
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.
To interconnect patch panels or T3/E3 fantails to T3AC or E3AC access cards, both 4-port and 8-port coaxial cable harnesses are offered by Cisco Systems. These harnesses are available in 4-, 8-, or12-foot lengths. The table below shows appropriate ordering information for the T3 fantail cable harness.

The circuit emulation access card (CEMAC) is available in two versions:
Figure 3-19 shows the T1 and E1 CEMAC cards; the bulkhead view of these cards is 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 3-20 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"). Then, 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.
Table 3-2 shows the pin assignments common to the T1 and E1 CEMAC bulkhead connectors.

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."
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=.
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.
A physical representation of each power cordset available for use with the LS2020 switch is provided below, together with its specifications. For ease of reference, each diagram contains the part number (P/N) of the cordset in numerical order in the upper-left corner.
