Meridian America Link/Customer Controlled Routing Backplane cable rerouting for NT8D37 IPE Module

Chapter 9: Meridian Link/CCR interface cabling 195

Backplane cable rerouting for NT8D37 IPE Module

In the standard 12-cable configuration for the backplane in the NT8D37 IPE Module, cables D, H, N, and U are not used. Those cables are used in the 16-cable fully expanded configuration.

Note: Backplane slots 0, 4, 8, and 12 (for cables A, E, K, and R) are already fully cabled for 24 pairs, so no change is required for those slots.

Table 67 lists cable connections before cable expansion. Figure 52 shows the backplane slots before cable expansion.
