Cabling for the first four PE slots can be expanded using one NT8D81AA cable/filter assembly. Cabling for all of the PE slots can be expanded using three NT8D81AA cable/filter assemblies.

If you do not have additional NT8D81AA cable/filter assemblies available, you can reroute the existing cables to accommodate the Meridian Link/CCR IPE Module in certain PE slots. For more information on this, refer to ÒNT8D11 backplane cabling reroutingÑto accommodate the IPE Module in PE slots 0Ð3Ó later in this section.
