Cabling the Protect Line Cards (VXR5)
This section describes cabling the protect cable interface line cards from the Cisco uBR7246VXR router to the RF switch.
Equipment
•4 cable bundles (F-connector to MCX connector—multicolor)
•4 header blocks (installed)
To cable the protect line cards, complete the following steps. Refer to Table 5-8and to Figure 5-8 on page 5-12.
Step 1 Connect the cables to the upstream connectors (US0–US5) on line card–LC1 on router 5.
Step 2 Secure the cables with cable wrap, as necessary, and run the cable bundles up the right side of the equipment rack.
Step 3 Install the cables in the PROTECT header block in the order that they were mapped. See Figure 5-8. Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for all the line cards in VXR5 (PROTECT).
