Unlocking the Drawer
You can use the client clips shipped with the chassis to clip together cables for
easy handling and organization.
The line card motherboards and the mux/demux modules on the Cisco ONS 15540
ESPx connect to each other through the cross connect drawers using MTP-to-MU
breakout cables. Each breakout cable has an MTP connector on one end and eight
individual MU connectors on the other end called breakout cables.
Each cross connect drawer is an 8-channel drawer. To configure a 32-channel
system you need four drawers and two cable storage drawers. All MTP and
MTP-to-MU breakout cables are pulled out to the left of the chassis and enter the
