Termination panels for FPs

The termination panels that are available to a Passport 15000 or 20000
include fanout panels and sparing panels. These termination panels
interconnect equipment to the function processors (FPs) of a Passport 15000
or 20000 switch.
With a NEBS 2000 frame or equivalent mounting apparatus that houses a
single switch, termination panels can be attached to the empty portion of the
mounting apparatus. In frames containing two Passport switches, a separate
mounting apparatus is required. The 19-inch wide sparing panels that are used
with Passport 15000 or 20000 FPs can be mounted onto a NEBS 2000 frame
using the adapter brackets from kit NTHW14.
The type of cable and connector that is available as prefabricated cable
assemblies and the cable specifications that are required to custom make your
own are provided in the description of each FP that uses the panel. FP
descriptions are in "Control and function processors" (page 141).
The installation of each termination panel and its cables is in 241-1501-240
