Chapter 4 Cabling the RF Switch With the Cisco uBR10012 CMTS Cable Interface Line Cards

Connecting the RF Cables (MC16x, MC28C Line Cards)

Tip For shorter cables (3m) use cable kit CAB-RFSW520TPMF (dual-shielded) or CAB-RFSW520QTPMF (quad-shielded).

To cable the output connections, complete the following steps.

Step 1 Install the header blocks on the CABLE PLANT section of the RF switch. Refer to Installing the Header Blocks on the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch, page 4-9, if necessary.

Step 2 Install the output cables in the header blocks. Refer to Mapping the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C Cable Interface Line Cards to the RF Switch, page 4-13for RF switch/MCX connector installation instructions, if necessary.

Step 3 Run the output cables (H–A) from header blocks to splitters, US laser receivers, or the low side of the diplex filters

Step 4 Run the output cables (F) or (M–F) to the splitters/combiners, DS laser transmitters, or the high side of the diplex filters.
