Allow for future expansion and equipment changes at the cross-connect
terminal.
The cross-connect terminal should have sufficient space for connecting
blocks to terminate the following wires:
• ten 25-pair cables from each cabinet (the main cabinet and, if equipped,
each expansion cabinet)
• nine conductors comprising the AUX cable from the main cabinet
• one 25-pair cable from each QUA6 PFTU
• wiring from telephone sets and trunks.
The BIX cross-connect system is recommended for use with the system.
However, use of this system is not mandatory. Other similar cross-connect
systems can also be used.
Information about the BIX cross-connect system is found in "Chapter 13 –
Installing and connecting cross-connect terminals to cabinets" on
page 147 and in the following Nortel Networks technical publications
