Chapter 4 Cabling the RF Switch With the Cisco uBR10012 CMTS Cable Interface Line Cards
Mapping the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C Cable Interface Line Cards to the RF

Switch

When you connect RF cables between the RF switch and a Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface
line card installed in a Cisco uBR10012 router, ensure that all the RF cables in the bundle attach to
interfaces on the same cable interface line card installed in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. (See
on page
The following guidelines can help you map the cables between the RF switch and the Cisco uBR10012:
•
•
•
We recommend that the protect card be installed in slot 5/1 because this slot is directly below the
Note
PROTECT section on the RF switch.

The cable interface ports labeled A to E and H to L on the header blocks are used for the upstream
port connections on the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C line card installed in the Cisco uBR10012
CMTS.
The cable interface ports labeled F, G, and M are used only for the downstream port connections.
The DS0 and DS1 ports on Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C are cabled first to the upconverter and
–
then from the upconverter to the RF switch. A 10-dB attenuator may be required between the
line card and the upconverter., due to a higher IF output.
The cable interface port labeled N on the header block does not connect to anything in the
Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch and should not be connected to any cable interface port either.
