Note:
Mating a CAT5 cable to the 90-degree CAT3 connector on the splitter shelf
requires special attention, as only one side of the connector can be secured with a screw.
The other side of the connector must be secured with a cable tie. The head of the cable
tie must align with the bottom edge of the connector to achieve a robust connection.
When supplying your own cables, Calix recommends using CAT5 cables to achieve
optimal SNR margins.
a.
Connect the DSL cable:
Get a DSL cable from the kit. The DSL cable is equipped with RJ-21 connectors
on both ends.
Connect the cable's "DSL" end to the first
DSL
RJ-21 connector on the rear of
splitter shelf.
b.
Connect the POTS overlay cable:
Get a POTS overlay cable from the kit (RJ-21 and MS
2
connectors).
Connect the cable's RJ-21 end (labeled "PSTN") to the first
PSTN
RJ-21
connector on the rear of splitter shelf.
c.
Connect the subscriber interface cable:
On the back of the C7 shelf, disconnect the subscriber interface cable from the
slot housing the ADSL card.
Connect the subscriber interface cable to the first
LOOP
RJ-21 connector on the
rear of splitter shelf.
d.
Secure all RJ-21 connector matings on the splitter shelf by tightening the screw at one
end and attaching a cable tie at the other end as shown.
Note:
To provide a securely-mated connection, be sure to align the head of the cable tie
along the bottom edge of the RJ-21 connector as shown. Failure to install the cable tie
correctly may result in an inadequate connection.
6.
Terminate the splitter shelf signal cables to the far endpoint as follows:
a.
Connect the DSL cable's "C7" end to the RJ-21 connector on the C7 shelf for the
slot housing the ADSL card.
b.
Connect the POTS overlay cable's "PSTN IN" end to the MS
2
connector from the
outside plant overlay cable.
