3.2 Required Cables for Installation with POTS Splitter
During an installation with a POTS splitter, use only the Cisco cables specified in Table3-1 to
connect the Cisco 6130 NI-2 DSLAM, the POTS splitter, and the CO facility MDF. This section
provides tables and illustrations for DSLAM-to-POTS splitter cable connections. Consult Siecor
documentation for line connections from the MDF to the POTS splitter and POTS splitter cabling
from the POTS splitter to the MDF.
Note SomeCisco 6130 NI-2 DSLAM receptacles in the cabling diagrams are not used because they
are specific to one of the other Cisco 6100 DSLAM system configurations or because they are
reserved for future use.
