Cabling a System

The MIX 56 chassis contains two independent systems that each require cabling. Telect recommends routing cables to the side of the chassis the system is on, not crossing the cables to the other side of the chassis.

The following instructions describe cabling one system. To cable the other system, repeat these steps, but route cables so as to create a mirror effect from the first system. If using as a DSX only, this requires using 64-pin connectors on the other system that are the reverse orientation of those used on the first system.

If you are using the system as a DSX only, route the DS1 signals to the rear 64-pin connectors. This method provides full DSX functionality, including patching and monitoring, using the DSX jacks on the chassis front.

If you are using the system as a redundant or nonredundant multiplexer, full DSX functionality is available when you route the DS1 signals through the wire-wrap pinfields on the front of the chassis, rather than through the rear 64-pin connectors. You can still use the system as a multiplexer when DS1 signals are routed through the rear 64-pin connectors, but you will not have patch-jack functionality.
