Figure 26: Fiber-Optic Array Cable

You can order cable lengths of 4 m, 5 m, 6 m, and 12 m from Juniper Networks. If you
require cables longer than 12 m, you must order them directly from the manufacturer.
Contact your Juniper Networks representative for more information.
NOTE: A fiber-optic array connector is attached to each end of a fiber-optic
array cable and plugs into a fiber-optic array adapter on a TX-SIB and a
T640-SIB.
The UTP Category 5 Ethernet cables, which use straight-through wiring and RJ-45
connectors on each end, are used for controlling the T640 routers and for out-of-band
management of the routing matrix. Controlling the T640 routers requires connections
from the two TX-CIPs in the TX Matrix router to the T-CBs in the T640 routers.
Out-of-band management requires connections from the TX-CIPs to external
management devices.
These cables can be up to 100 m long.
The DB-9 serial cables are used to connect a system console or laptop computer to the
TX-CIPs for local management of the routing matrix.
