Cable Accessory Kit

The Cisco ONS 15104 comes with a cable accessory kit that contains the cables and adapters you need to connect a terminal, a PC running communication software, or a modem to your
Cisco ONS 15104. The cable accessory kit includes the following items:

Straight Ethernet cable

Rollover RJ-45 console cable

RJ-45/DB9 adapter

RJ-45/DB25 female adapter

RJ-45/DB25 male adapter cable

Mounting brackets

Cable-management bracket

Power cord clip


Note   Single-mode long-reach simplex cables with SC connectors are available from the following cable vendors: AMP, Anixter, AT&T, Red-Hawk, and Siemens. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems.


Console Port Signals and Pinouts

Use the RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled Terminal) to connect the console port to a PC running terminal emulation software. lists the pinouts for the console port cable and adapter. (See .)

Figure B-2 Console Port and Console Port Connector (RJ-45)

Identifying a Rollover Cable

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cables side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See .) If your cable came from Cisco Systems, pin 1 will be white on one connector, but pin 8 will be white on the other (a rollover cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, plus 4 and 5).

Figure B-3 Identifying a Rollover Cable

Table B-1 shows the pin-outs for the DB-9 adapter. Use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled Terminal) to connect the console port to a terminal.

Ethernet Port Signals

The Ethernet port is used to download Cisco IOS software images to the Cisco ONS 15104. However, the Ethernet port must be configured through a PC terminal before you can download files. You can use a straight Ethernet cable to connect and configure the Cisco ONS 15104 to other components through the Ethernet port.

Fiber Connectors

The Cisco ONS 15104 has two pair of fiber connectors for bidirectional transmission. The left fiber connector interfaces with an OC-48 regeneration port that transmits data. The right fiber connector interfaces with an OC-48 regeneration port that receives data. The SC connector supports single-mode, fiber-optic transmissions. The SC connector is the default connector for the
Cisco ONS 15104 as specified by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) as the Fiber-Optic Cable Intermatability Standard (FOCIS-3). (See Figure B-4.)
