Installing Cables

Cisco cables are color-coded for easy reference and installation. The cable color corresponds to a specific port on the card.

See Table 5 for a list of the cable ports and its associated cable color for a five bundle quad-shielded cabling. The table includes a column for you to define ports and color definitions.

Note Other color options for precision miniature video coaxial cables may be available, contact Belden for more information. You can use any cable color combination but Table 5 is the reference color configuration.

To replace cables or install new cables in an UCH2, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Use the T-10 TORX driver tool to loosen the lock bar on the side where the cable is installed.

Step 2 Use a flathead screw driver as a lever to slide open the lock bar (if needed).

Step 3 Remove the ESD cap from a cable (see Figure 19 and Figure 20) and place it in the hole in the UCH2. (See Figure 21.) Use Table 5 to determine the correct color and location for each colored cable.
