SMB Cables

The cables used to connect the 6E3 line card are presented in the following sections:

• Ordering Cables, page 1-6

• Building Your Own Cables, page 1-6

We recommend using six SMB cables. The cables are 10 feet (3.048 meters) long and have two female

SMB connectors on one end, and two female or male bayonet coupling (BNC) connectors on the other

end. Use the female SMB cable connectors to connect the local line card RX and TX ports. Use the BNC

cable connectors to connect the line card RX and TX ports to other devices. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-5.

Note Cisco does not automatically provide the six SMB cables recommended for your 6E3 line card.
