Cables

This section describes the various communication cables connected to the line cards installed in the ATM Switch and how to connect them.

The following types of communication cables are available for the ATM Switch:

Physical Layer	Throughput	Transmission Medium	Connector
OC-12/STM-4	622 Mbps	Single mode optical fiber	SC
OC-3/STM-1	155 Mbps	Multi mode optical fiber	SC
OC-3/STM-1	155 Mbps	Single mode optical fiber	SC
TAXI	100 Mbps	Multi mode fiber	SC
OC-3/STM-1	155 Mbps	UTP-5	RJ-45 modular
			jack
J2	6.3 Mbps	Coaxial cable	BNC
DS3	45 Mbps	Coaxial cable	BNC
E3	34 Mbps	Coaxial cable	BNC

Optical Cables

There are two types of optical cables: single-mode optical fiber cables and multi- mode optical fiber cables. The single-mode optical fiber cables are used for OC- 12c and OC-3c/STM1-SMF and the multi-mode optical fiber cables for OC-3c/ STM-1-MMF and TAXI.

The single-mode optical fiber cables used for the ATM Switch have core/clad diameters of 9.5/125 µm and the multi-mode optical fiber cables of 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm.

The optical cables are connected with SC connectors. When connecting the cables, be careful of the transmission-reception direction. Be sure to connect one end to the transmission side and the other to the reception side.

Optical fiber cable can transmit cells over a distance so as long as the optical reception level shown in the following table is satisfied.
