Step 4
Route the cables along the cable rack and into the terminating bay
(DSX or other terminating transmission equipment).
............................................................................................................................................................................
Step 5
Cut the cables to desired length and install the BNC connectors shipped
with the cable assemblies.
Important!
When installing BNC connectors, follow the
manufacturer’s instruction carefully to ensure a proper connection.
Failure to do so may result in faulty DS3 signals as a result of
improperly installed BNC connectors.

Step 6
Connect the cables to their respective positions on the terminating
equipment.See Table 1-7, 24 Cable DS3/EC-1 Transmission
Connections (page 1-33) or Table 1-8, 12 Cable DS3/EC-1
Transmission Connections (page 1-37) for DS3/EC-1 connections.
Important!
The 12 port cable and the 24 port cable use different
signal grounds based on the circuit pack not the backplane. There is
no issue interchanging these cables on the backplane. The DS3
Signals are common between both cables.
