Power Cabling
Power Cabling
Power connections are made to the AC Power Supply Shelf or the DC Power Entry Module at the rear
of the BPX switch. For acceptable cable and wire types, see Table 31-2 and Table 31-3.
AC Powered Nodes
AC power cables may be provided by you or ordered from Cisco. Several standard cables are available
(see Table 31-2). AC cables with other plugs or different lengths may be special ordered.
For those who wish to construct their own power cable, the cable must mate with an IEC320 16/20A
male receptacle on the rear of the AC Power Supply Assembly.
