You can connect the lines (ports) of this DS3 FP directly to the far end
network equipment or another DS3 FP, or indirectly through the 3-port DS3,
E3, or E1 one-for-one sparing panel identified by PEC NTFP99AA or the
12-port DS3 fanout panel NTHW52. Refer to "Termination panels for FPs"
(page 291) for the description, function, and capabilities of the panel.
The connections can be made to equivalent non-Nortel Networks equipment
provided the cabling criteria are met.
The maximum cable length for DS3Ch lines to customer equipment is 137 m
(450 ft). The distance between the FP and the sparing panel is part of the total
length.
The table "Cable assemblies for a DS3Ch TDM FP" (page 162) lists the
available prefabricated cables. The cable assemblies with standard male BNC
connectors at both ends can be connected to either another FP, the
NTFP99AA sparing panel, the NTHW52 fanout panel, or other compatible
equipment.
