Figure 2-1 Fiber Optic Card (viewed from the right side)

Fiber Optic Backplane

The Traverse fiber optic backplane contains duplex backplane housings for the card MPX connectors. The fiber optic backplane housings are marked with a white stripe reference marker to properly orient the MPX connectors. The table below describes the number of duplex housings and GCM housing slot numbers.

Fiber Optic and Ethernet Combo Card Patch Panels

A fiber optic patch panel may be used to provide access and standard connectors (SC, FC, ST, LC, or D4) for termination of fiber optic cables from the Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) and from the Traverse fiber optic backplane. Fiber optic cable with a MPX female connector on one end must be used to make the connection at the Traverse fiber optic backplane. An MPX connector on the other end of the fiber optic cable is optional. Fiber optic cable with fan out for termination to single fiber connectors (SC, FC, ST, LC, or D4) is another option.

For Ethernet Combo cards, Force10 provides an optional snap-in faceplate patch panel for termination of fiber optic cables (4-port SC duplex adapter module for SM/MM) and Category 5 cables (RJ-45 modular jack) for flexibility and better identification of pairs terminated at the intermediate patch panel.

GbE-10 SCM, Fiber Assignments, and SFPs

The Traverse shelf also provides a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector module (SCM) to support high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for the 10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE-10) card.

The GbE-10 card must be ordered with a 10-port SFP connector module (SCM).

Connector Module Type

The Traverse supports this connector module type:

The 2-slot SCM occupies the width of two slots, as shown below. For example, the SCM for slots 1 and 2 plugs into the 2 mm connectors for slot number 2 (n+1=2). The SCM plugs into any even slot, and the lowest slot in the card pair is the protecting slot. In the figure of the Traverse shelf below, all of the even main backplane 2 mm connectors are chosen and shown in dark gray. The outline of the 2-slot SCM for slots 1 and 2 is shown in light gray.

The 10-port GbE (GbE-10) card provides up to ten 802.3z-compliant optical or electrical GbE ports of customer-installable Small Form Factor Pluggable optics (SFPs) using an SFP connector module (SCM). The SFPs can be in any mix of pluggable SFP-based 1000Base-SX, -LX, or -ZX optical or 1000Base-TX electrical interfaces.

The Traverse supports these customer-installable SFP types:Table 2-3 10-port GbE Card SFP Types

Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 2: Network Interface SpecificationsOptical GbE Port Protection

Optical GbE Port Protection

With an optical coupler/splitter cable, protection extends to the optical (GbE or 10GbE) ports on NGE, NGE Plus, 1-port GbE, 10-port GbE, or EoPDHcards in a 1:1 equipment protection group. Use the optical splitter/coupler to bridge the signal from both the working and protecting card (of like type) to provide 1:1 optical equipment protection for these GbE ports.

There is one optical link from the customer premise equipment (CPE) to the coupler/splitter, connecting the CPE to the working card. The splitter sends a copy of the optical signal to both the working and protecting cards in the equipment protection group. The coupler receives a signal from both of the cards, combines them, and sends the composite signaleffectively the signal from the working (active) cardto the CPE.

On the working card of the protection group, the optical transmitters are up (laser on), while on the protecting (standby) card, the optical transmitters are forced down (laser off). Upon an equipment protection switch, when the card transitions from working to protecting or vice versa, its optical ports are automatically brought down or up, as appropriate.

When there is a protection switch from one card in an 1:1 equipment protection group to the other card, services on the optical ports restore as soon as those on the electrical Ethernet ports. Alarms may be raised briefly during the switch while the the optical transmitters are down until they are automatically brought back up.

Optical port protection does not protect against fiber cuts.

Chapter 4 DS3 and E3 Interface Cabling Specifications

Introduction The Traverse main backplane supports cabling and 1:1 and 1:2 equipment protection switching for 12-port DS3/EC-1 Transmux, 24-port DS3/EC-1 Universal Transmux (UTMX-24), 24-port DS3/EC-1 Universal Transmux (UTMX-48), and 12- or 24-port DS3/E3/EC-1 CC cards using DS3/E3 electrical connector modules (ECM). This protection is available for systems commissioned as ADM or DCS-IO.

In addition to the electrical equipment protection, the DS3/EC-1 Transmux card supports 1:N equipment protection for high-density optical transmux applications (STS1-TMX mode), where N=1 to 12 in a Traverse 2000. One card protects all remaining adjacent cards. This application has no ECM requirement. (SONET network only)

For UTMX-24 and UTMX-48 cards, the Traverse also supports 1:4 equipment protection when all the facilities (both physical and logical) are configured in STS1-TMX mode. This protection is available for systems commissioned as DCS-IO. One card protects up to four associated working cards. This application has no ECM requirement. (SONET network only)

For cabling procedures, see Section 8Network Interface Cabling Procedures, Chapter 4DS3 and E3 Cabling Procedures, page 8-27.

For general ECM information, see Section 2Network Interface Specifications, Chapter 2ECM Interface Specifications, page 2-15.

Important: The Traverse system supports 1:2 equipment protection only for the above listed cards.


Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 2: Network Interface SpecificationsDS3/E3 ECM Placement

DS3/E3 ECM Placement

DS3/E3 ECMs allow DS3 and E3 cabling using industry-standard coax cable (AT&T 734A or 735A equivalent, depending on the card type) with male 75 ohm BNC or Mini-SMB connectors on the front and two 2 mm type B connectors on the back.

The DS3/E3 ECM plugs into the main backplane 2 mm connectors of any valid odd or even slot. The 2-slot DS3/E3 ECM design provides direct cable access to one card (n+1) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the main backplane. The 3-slot DS3/E3 ECM design provides direct cable access to two cards (either n and n+1 or n and n+2, depending on the protection scheme) and occupies the width of three slots (n, n+1, and n+2) on the main backplane. Plug the ECM into the right-most (n) 2 mm connectors for 2-slot ECMs, depending on the protection scheme, and the center (n+1) 2 mm connectors for 3-slot ECMs, as seen from the rear view of the shelf.

Chapter 5 Ethernet (Electrical) Interface Cabling Specifications

Introduction The Traverse system supports electrical interface cabling for protected and unprotected next-generation Ethernet (NGE) Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) NGE Plus, and Ethernet over PDH (EoPDH) cards.

Note: The term NGE refers to both the NGE and NGE Plus cards in this document, unless otherwise noted.

This chapter includes the following topics: NGE and EoPDH Card Protection Description NGE and EoPDH Card Types Ethernet Protection ECM Placement Ethernet Protection ECM for Electrical 1:1 Protection ECM Pinout and Cable Color Code for Electrical NGE and EoPDH Ports Ethernet Protection ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards 10/100BaseT ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards

For electrical Ethernet cabling procedures, see Section 8Network Interface Cabling Procedures, Chapter 5Ethernet (Electrical) Cabling Procedures.

For general electrical connector card (ECM) information, see Section 2Network Interface Specifications, Chapter 2ECM Interface Specifications.

Important: For optical Ethernet specifications, cabling, and protection (for EoPDH, NGE, NGE Plus, 10GbE, and GbE-10 cards), see Chapter 1Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications.


Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 2: Network Interface SpecificationsNGE and EoPDH Card Protection Description

NGE and EoPDH Card Protection Description

The Traverse system supports electrical interface cabling for protected and unprotected NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards.

Note: For specifications about 1:1 optical equipment protection, see Chapter 1Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications, Optical GbE Port Protection.

Electrical protection is available for like cards and on both electrical Gigabit (GbE TX) and Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseTX) port interfaces. 1:1 electrical equipment protection for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards

using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM Unprotected electrical equipment scheme for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH

cards using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) is available for the NGE Plus and EoPDH cards

using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM. CEP is a unique type of protection switching. A CEP Pair (CEPP) is a logical pairing of two NGE Plus or EoPDH cards operating as one Ethernet switch to aggregate the traffic from twice the number of physical ports (40 physical Ethernet ports) as that of a single card. While a CEPP can use all of the physical Ethernet ports of two cards, it uses the 64 EOS ports of the working card only for transport.NGE Plus or EoPDH cards in a CEPP protection group cannot simultaneously be in a 1:1 equipment protection group; these protection groups are mutually exclusive. NGE Plus or EoPDH cards not in a CEPP function exactly as an NGE card.Force10 recommends adjacent card configuration for the CEPP, although the cards can be non-adjacent. To create CEPP protection groups, see the TransNav Provisioning Guide, Section 3Creating Protection Groups, Chapter 1Overview of Protection Groups.

Ethernet Protection ECM Placement

The Ethernet Protection ECM allows NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH electrical port cabling using Category 5 twisted-pair copper cable with Telco 50 connectors. The ECM has two Telco 50 connectors on the front and two 2 mm type B connectors on the back.

The Ethernet Protection ECM plugs into the main backplane two 2 mm connectors of any valid odd or even slot. The 2-slot design provides direct cable access to one card (n+1 of the pair) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the backplane. Plug the ECM into the 2 mm connectors of the right-most slot (n) as seen from the rear view of the shelf.

For a graphical representation, see Section 2Network Interface Specifications, Chapter 2ECM Interface Specifications, ECM Placement at the Traverse Main Backplane.

Ethernet Protection ECM for Electrical 1:1 Protection

The Ethernet Protection ECM supports the 1:1 electrical equipment protection cabling for the NGE, NGE Plus, or EoPDH card GbE TX and 10/100BaseTX interface ports.1 The 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM provides direct cable access to one card (n+1) and occupies the width of two slots (n and n+1) on the main backplane.
