Node Capacity Rules
Maximum 100x E1, or 200x E1 timeslots, where each timeslot
represents a Tx or Rx slot on the backplane bus
STM1 Maximum 2x STM1 or 4 timeslot groups, where each
represents a Tx or Rx group on the backplane bus
Linear & Ring Networks:
• For a linear network node the number of circuits required on the backplane
equals the number of circuits passed through plus number of circuits
dropped
• For a ring network node, the circuits required on the backplane equals the
number of circuits passed through plus 1½ times the number of drop/insert
circuits (3 timeslots used for each drop/insert)

• Cinta CNT-300 – max distance 150m
• Belden 9913 – max distance 300m

IDU-ODU cable connection
Never disconnect or reconnect an ODU cable to a RAC
without first turning the power off to the INU or
withdrawing the RAC from the backplane.
Note: The ODU cable provides the power feed to the ODU.
Arcing during connection and disconnection at the RAC
on a live RAC can cause damage to connector contact
surfaces. Power spikes caused by live connection and
disconnection may also cause errors on other traffic
passing through the INU/INUe. The only exception to
live disconnection and connection should be for checks
of protected operation at link commissioning.
