Equipment

•5 cable bundles —(F-connector to F-connector—multicolor)

To cable the DS ports to the upconverter, complete the following steps. Refer to Figure 5-15 on page 5-21, and Table 5-15, Table 5-16, and Table 5-17 on page 5-22.

Step 1 Connect the cables to the downstream connectors (DS0, DS1) on the line cards (LC1–LC4).

Step 2 Secure the cables with cable wrap, and run the cable bundles up the right side of the equipment rack.

Step 3 Pull the cable bundle through the space between the VXR1 router and the RF switch. Add a 10-dB attenuator to the DS cables, if necessary.

Step 4 Connect the cables to the input ports (top) on the upconverter.

Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each DS0 and DS1 port on the Cisco uBR7246VXR routers (VXR2 through VXR5).

Figure 5-15 on page 5-21shows cabling for the upconverter.
