2-50 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
Hardware Overview Introduction
The following table maps the pin assignments for Riverstone’s 50-pin HSSI connector for the Dual HSSI line card.
Note
Because neither connector at the ends of the SYS-HSSI-CAB cable is keyed, you
can simply plug either end of the cable into either your Dual HSSI line card or the
remote HSSI CSU/DSU data port.
Table 2-36 shows the pin positions in the 50-pin HSSI connector.
