act as an Ethernet extender to the opposite end. This port is always on, and transports the IP
packets over the fiber container to the opposite end. Presently no packet manipulation is
offered.
The next port is the RDNT port, and it is currently not used. This port is dedicated to
communications between two cards for equipment redundancy, once implemented.
The final port is the 96-pin T1/E1 port which allows the operator to transport sixteen
additional facilities over STS-1 to the opposite end. Zhone presently offers three cables to
interface to the electrical T1/E1 connector on the OC3 Mapper card faceplate to connect to
other facilities. These cables all feature a 96-pin connector on one end, and a blunt end
opposite. These cables are all identical, except for the length. Zhone offers 30 foot, 50 foot and
100 foot versions of the cable. Pin outs for the cable and connector are shown in the illustration
on the following page.
There are three cables offered for the IMACS OC3 card for the external facilities:

IMACS-OC3-50FT-BLUNT
