28 Installing the Cross-Connect Panel
Analog Link Connections to the Cross-connect Panel
The Analog link SRU is equipped with three rear connectors that cable the SRU to
the connectors at the top of the office cross-connect panel. Each connector connects
one row of line cards in the SRU to the cross-connect panel. The cross-connect
panel then routes them to a Main Distribution Frame (MDF) for connection to the
central office.
This procedure assumes that the panel has already been installed. If not, ensure that
it is installed according to Fig. 8-10.
Each connector requires a 25-pair cable. The cable is equipped with D-subminiature
Amphenol connectors, and is ordered and shipped separately. The cable is available
in various lengths, so be certain that you use the appropriate cable for each
connection.
If the customer so chooses, the cable can be connectorized in the field for
non-standard lengths. If this is the case, use the AMP CHAMP MI-1 Crimping tool
as described in Part 16 to connectorize the cables. (See Table 8-A for the color
codes for the cable, which is the same cable as used for LANlink connections.)
Make the connections as follows:
To prevent electric shock, power the system down before attempting to attach
or remove cables from the Analog Link SRU.
