1.5.4 High-Density BNC EIA

1.5.3.2 BNC Insertion and Removal Tool

Due to the large number of BNC connectors on the high-density BNC EIA, you might require a special
tool for inserting and removing BNC EIAs (Figure 1-14). This tool also helps with ON S 15454 patch
panel connections.

1.5.4 High-Density BNC EIA
The ONS 15454 high-density BNC EIA supports 48 DS-3 circuits on each side of the ONS 15454
(48 transmit and 48 receive connectors). If you install BNC EIAs on both sides of the unit, the
ONS 15454 hosts up to 96 circuits. The high-density BNC EIA supports Trompeter UCBJ224 (75-ohm)
4-leg connectors (King or ITT are also compatible). Use straight connectors on RG-59/U cable to
connect to the high-density BNC EIA. Cisco recommends these cables for connection t o a patch panel;
they are designed for long runs. You can use high-density BNC EIAs for DS-3 (including the DS3XM-6
and DS3XM-12) or EC-1 cards. Figure 1-15 shows the ONS 15454 with preinstalled high-density BNC
EIAs.
To install coaxial cable with high-density BNC connectors, refer to the “Install Shelf and Backplane
Cable” in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
