Connecting Ethernet Cables
Connecting Ethernet Cables
The Cisco ASR 907 Router interface modules support RJ45 or SFP Ethernet ports. For instructions on how
to connect cables to Ethernet SFP ports, see Connecting Cables to SFP Modules .
The RJ45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cables. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.
Warning
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the Gigabit Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding
cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its
wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as
described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Note
When installing the cabling to the RSPs, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling
sufficient to allow for fan tray removal.
Follow these steps to connect the cable to a copper Gigabit Ethernet port:
Step 1
Confirm that the router is powered off.
Step 2
Connect one end of the cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the router.
Step 3
Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.

Connecting T1/E1 Cables
The physical layer interface for the Cisco ASR 907 Router T1/E1 port is a customer-installed high-density
connector. The high-density connector has thumbscrews which should be screwed into the interface when the
cable is installed.
