Cabling the Acme Packet 6100
After mounting the Acme Packet 6100 in an equipment rack and installing all
components into the chassis, connect all appropriate data cables to the ports
before powering the system up and configuring it.
Acme Packet recommends using fully shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet
cables for
NIU media and management Ethernet connections to protect the
Acme Packet 6100 from potential damage.
You can install and remove Ethernet and 10GbE optical cables while the Acme
Pack
et 6100 is operational. Not every port needs to be utilized for proper
operation. However, when a cable is disconnected and the link is lost, an alarm
is generated.
Warning: The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for
connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The
intra-building ports of the equipment must not be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or
its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described in GR-
1089–CORE, Issue 6) and requires isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection
to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
