12IN1-S4 V.35/X.21 Back Card

The back card for the MGX-FRSM-HS1/B is the 12IN1-S4. Each port on the back card connects through a DTE version or DCE version of the Cisco 12IN1 cable. For the signals on the back card, see Table B-10 and Table B-11. The tables show the signal acronym, signal name, and signal source. The signal depends whether the back card connector is either DTE or DCE and whether the back card has been set as either X.21 or V.35 as shown in Table B-9. For the part numbers of the standard and non-standard versions of the 12IN1 cables, see Table B-12.

An illustration of the connector wiring appears in Figure B-1.


Figure B-1: RJ-48 Connectors


DC Power Cabling

DC Power connections are made to the DC Power Entry Modules at the rear of the MGX 8250 switch. (See Figure B-2.) See Table B-14 and Table B-15 for acceptable cable and wire types. Cisco normally does not provide wiring for DC-powered systems. See Table B-14 for details on DC wiring.


Table B-14: DC Power Wiring
Cable Parameter Description

Wiring:

Three conductor, 6 AWG recommended wire gauge, min. 60 degrees Celsius insulation rating, copper conductors only. Panduit LC AS6-10-L terminal lug or equivalent to fit #10-32 screws.

Either Cisco Systems or the customer can provide the AC power cord. See Table B-15 for the power cords that Cisco can supply. In addition, you can special-order AC cables with other plugs or different lengths. If you want to construct the power cord, it must mate with an IEC320 16/20A male receptacle on the back of the AC power module.

Table B-17: Maintenance and Control Port Cabling
Cable Parameter Description

Interface

EIA/TIA-232—both are DTE ports.

Suggested Cable

24 AWG, 25-wire. A straight-through EIA/TIA-232 cable provides a terminal or printer connection. For an interface with modems on either port, a null modem cable may be necessary.

Cable Connector

RJ-48, subminiature, male. Table B-18 contains a list of the port pin assignments.

External Clock Input Cabling

The external clock input cable connects the external clock inputs through the T3E3-D, T3E3-B and SMF-155 EXT.TMG. connectors. The clock may be 1.544 Mbps for T3E3-D or 2.048 Mbps for T3E3-D. See Table B-19 through Table B-22.

T1/E1 Clock Cabling

The DB-15 clock port can accept a T1 or E1 BITS clock input.

Standard MGX 8250 Cables

For a list of the standard cables that Cisco can supply for the MGX 8250 switch, see Table B-25. The suffix to the model number indicates the length of the cable. For example, 5610-50 indicates a 50-foot cable. Cables are available in standard lengths of 10 ft. (3 m), 25 ft. (7.6 m), 50 ft. (15 m), 75 ft. (22.8 m), and 100 ft. (30 m). Lengths of 100 ft. (30 m) to 600 ft. (183 m) are available through a special order.

Where applicable, Table B-25 includes the gender of the connector and the number of pins. For example, EIA/TIA-232/M25-M25 indicates a cable terminated with a male DB-25 at both ends.
