Connecting Ethernet Cables - Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Installing Manual

Connecting Ethernet Cables

DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Pull the memory stick from the USB port.
Step 2 To replace the Cisco USB Flash memory stick, simply insert the module into the USB port labeled USB MEM, as shown
in Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router Flash Token Memory Stick figure. The Flash memory module can be inserted only
one way, and can be inserted or removed regardless of whether the router is powered up or not.
Note If you are permanently removing the USB Flash device, reinstall the dust cap in the USB
port.
Connecting Ethernet Cables
To achieve good performance, it is recommended to use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cat 5E/Cat 6 cables
Note
for all RJ-45 ports on the router.
The Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router interface modules support RJ-45 and Ethernet SFP ports. For instructions
on how to connect cables to Ethernet SFP ports, see the Connecting Cables to SFP Modules.
The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5E unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cables. Cisco does not supply Category 5E UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.
Note 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.
Follow these steps to connect a cable to a copper Gigabit Ethernet port:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Connect one end of the cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the router.
2. Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
