Installing the UCH, Removing the UCH | Cisco Systems uBR10-MC5X20H

3Installing the UCH

After the cables are installed in the UCH, perform the following steps to prevent ESD damage to the line card.

Note Before proceeding, remove the protective sticker covering the line card DS ports.

Step 1 Make sure that you are grounded using an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.

Step 2 Attach a jumper cable to the ground point on the chassis.

Step 3 Briefly touch each cable’s center connector with the jumper cable to remove any built-up ESD potential.

Step 4 Position the UCH2 so the red line is on the same side as the red triangle on the faceplate.

Step 5 Align the end pins with the pin holes in the faceplate, and guide the UCH onto the faceplate.

Step 6 Hold the cables and UCH in place while finger tightening the leadscrew. Do not bend the cables at right angles.

Step 7 Use the flathead screwdriver to tighten the leadscrew 10 in–lbs, (maximum torque 15 in.-lbs).

Caution Torquing the leadscrew to more than

20in-lbs can cause the leadscrew to fail.

The UCH is fully engaged when the semi-circles on the shroud show metal and the red and black lines are completely covered. See Figure 3.

4Removing the UCH

Step 1 Make sure that you are grounded using an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.

Step 2 Loosen the lead screw (counterclockwise) until it disengages from the faceplate.

Step 3 Gently pull the UCH straight away from the faceplate.

Note If the UCH does not easily pull away from the card, loosen the lead screw until it completely disengages from the faceplate.

5Removing the Cables

Step 1 Use the T-10 TORX driver tool to loosen the lock bar on the side you want to remove cables.

Step 2 Slide the lock bar open by hand, or with a flathead screwdriver if the bar is stuck or hard to access. See Figure 5.

(Make sure the lock bar is completely open or the cables will not release.)

Caution Be careful not to bend the cables.

Step 3 Carefully pull the cable out of the hole.

6Troubleshooting

Check the following:

1.Verify that the lead screw is tight.

2.Verify that the shroud fits snugly against the faceplate (the cutouts are closed).

3.Verify that the cables are properly seated and secure in the UCH.

If downstream RF power measurements are made, use these ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product:

1.Check for a proper ground on the equipment and chassis before connecting any cables.

2.Ensure that there is a common ground between all the test equipment that you are using and the unit under test.

3.Keep test cables as short as possible to limit static buildup.

4.Before attaching any test cables to the unit under test, momentarily ground the center pin of the test cable to remove any ESD potential that may be present.

uBR10-MC5X20S, uBR10-MC5X20H specifications

Cisco Systems is at the forefront of networking technology, and its uBR10-MC5X20S and uBR10-MC5X20H modules exemplify innovation in the cable modem termination system (CMTS) space. These modules are designed to cater to the demands of high-performance, scalable broadband networks, providing superior data, voice, and video services.

The uBR10-MC5X20S and uBR10-MC5X20H are designed to work with the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router, serving as a vital piece in the architecture of a cable broadband network. These modules support a large number of subscribers while delivering robust performance, making them ideal for service providers looking to expand their offering in high-demand areas.

One of the noteworthy features of the uBR10-MC5X20S and uBR10-MC5X20H is their support for DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 technologies. DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) plays a crucial role in enabling high-speed internet access over a cable network. With these technologies, service providers can achieve upstream speeds of up to 1 Gbps and downstream speeds exceeding 10 Gbps, significantly enhancing user experience, especially for bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming and online gaming.

The uBR10-MC5X20S is optimized for standard services while maintaining a versatile design, often utilized for residential broadband applications. In contrast, the uBR10-MC5X20H has enhanced capabilities for hybrid networks that blend both legacy and next-gen services. The latter module incorporates advanced QoS (Quality of Service) features, allowing providers to prioritize traffic and ensure a seamless service experience, even during peak usage times.

Both modules come with active health monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, allowing network operators to maintain optimal performance and swiftly identify issues before they disrupt service. They also boast energy-efficient designs, contributing to lower operational costs and reducing the carbon footprint of network operations.

In summary, Cisco’s uBR10-MC5X20S and uBR10-MC5X20H are pivotal components that empower service providers to meet growing bandwidth demands with reliability and efficiency. By leveraging advanced technologies like DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1, these modules not only optimize network performance but also lay a solid foundation for future network enhancements. As broadband demands continue to evolve, Cisco remains committed to delivering solutions that stay ahead of the curve.
