Cabling Specifications
This section describes and provides pinout information for the cables available for the Cisco AS5800
that connect to the dial shelf, the router shelf, and power modules and supplies. For pinouts and
specifications of cables that connect to dial shelf ingress cards (T1/E1, T3) refer to the Cisco AS5800
Universal Access Server Dial Shelf Card Guide.
Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter Cables
The dial shelf interconnect port adapter contains a single RJ-45 receptacle, which is used to connect
the router shelf to the dial shelf. The cable used for this connection is a Cisco proprietary cable,
customized with jackscrews to secure the connection. You must use this specially designed cable,
which shipped with your dial shelf interconnect port adapter, to connect the dial shelf to the router
shelf.
Caution Disconnecting this cable while the system is operating will result in a loss of all calls.
Figure A-1 shows the dial shelf interconnect cable with jackscrew connectors.

AC-Input Power Shelf Cables
The AC-input power shelf is equipped with four types of cables:
• Two AC power cords for AC input
• Two DC interconnect cables for DC output
• One DB-25 to DB-9 monitor cable for status signaling
• Two ground cables for grounding the power shelf to the dial shelf
The AC-input connection uses a 15A/240 VAC power cord in Europe, Asia, and North America. The
15A connectors on the AC-input power shelf are incompatible with 15A power strips used in most
equipment racks and with the power source used for the router shelf.
Caution Do not plug the AC-input power shelf into the same power source as the AC router shelf.
Note Wiring codes prevent the AC-input power cable from being used with the power strips in
equipment racks.
