You can custom make your own control port cable using the following
specifications:
• tin-plated copper cable with 5 conductors at 7 strands of 32 AWG
2
(0.0320 mm ) wire for each conductor, with an aluminum polyester
shield, covered by poly vinyl chloride insulation (for example, Beldon
Wire and Cable part number 9535)
• a resultant cable size of 24 AWG (0.205 mm
• a 45-degree downwards offset female DB9 connector with standard
slotted fastening screws for the FP faceplate; see the orientation of the
sparing D-sub connector in the figure "Faceplate of a 4-port DS3Ch FP
with AAL1 CES with PEC NTHR91" (page 180) to determine the
orientation of the downwards offset relative to the shape of the D
• a straight male DB9 connector with standard slotted fastening screws for
the sparing panel faceplate
Refer to the inset of the control port in the figure "Faceplate of a 4-port
DS3Ch FP with AAL1 CES with PEC NTHR91" (page 180). The PS is the
power supply. Both ends of the cable have the same pinout, and the control
port pinout is the same for all DS3 and E3 cards.
The pinout of the traffic ports is shown in the figures "Faceplate of a 4-port
DS3Ch FP with AAL1 CES with PEC NTHR91" (page 180) and "Labels of
mini-coax and BNC cable connections on a 4-port NTHR58 cable assembly"
(page 183), and in the table "Mapping an 8W8 and BNC cable to a
termination panel from a DS3Ch FP" (page 184). Information about
assigning port connections is described in the processor card cabling chapter
of 241-1501-240 Passport 15000, 20000 Hardware Installation,
Maintenance and Upgrade.
