Cable Description and Installation

Caution You must provide some type of strain relief for the cables, using either a tie-bar or other site-specific
solution.
Note Clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber
connectors that you do not use.
1.8.3 Coaxial Cable Installation
For E3/DS3 traffic, the ONS 15310-MA SDH uses coaxial cables and connectors. Cisco recommends
connecting a 735A coaxial cable to a patch panel. Use a compatible male BNC connector to connect the
cable to the E3/DS3 ports. The E3/DS3 cables should be terminated with BNC connectors on the
ONS 15310-MA SDH side and BNC connectors on the client side.
Due to the minimal space between BNC connectors and E1 connectors, you might require a special tool
for inserting and removing BNC EIAs (Figure 1-11).
