4.5 Procedures 4-15

4.1 Introduction
This chapter provides the procedures to prepare a concrete floor or a raised floor for the
installation of racks with footprint 600 x 300 mm.
4.2 General
Different rack cabinets available for HD, UD, XD and FD equipment, with different
footprints can be mixed.
Figure 4-1 gives an example of a multiple rack configuration with different footprints.

The following applies for multiple rack configurations:

• Racks can be grown from either left to right, or right to left. The order is not important.
• Racks with footprint of 600 mm x 300 mm can be mounted back-to-back or to wall,
as they are only accessed via the front.
• XD modular and FD racks are 300 mm deep. They can be placed against other
300 mm or even 600 mm deep racks used for other equipment in the same building.
HD, UD and HD&UD racks have the same footprint, XD-Combo racks have a
footprint of 600 mm x 600 mm.
• Cable areas on the left and the right of each rack allow to route rack cables up to rack
overhead guides or down under raised floor, if present.
In the case of raised-floor cabling, the positioning of the racks and the cutting of the tiles
needs special attention, as the rack anchors and the cable routing holes must not coincide
with the raised-floor supports.

4.3 Parts List
Racks and accompanying hardware mounting parts.

• Safety glasses
• Carpenter’s claw hammer
• Accurate level
• Chalk line and chalk
• Felt marking pen
• Measuring tape, approximately 15 m
• Saw or knife
• Jig saw
• Small shop vacuum cleaner
4.5 Procedures
Procedure 4-1 Marking the Rack Positions

1 Verify that the layout of floors, ceiling and walls is as shown in the applicable drawings
and specifications are as provided by the site survey team.
2 Verify that the area dimensions and the location of reference points correspond to the
floor plan.
3 Use a level to verify that the floor is level.
Caution — Risk of equipment damage when floor is not level
Do not try to mount a rack on a floor that is not level.
4 Mark the references and the layout lines.

To avoid cumulative errors when laying out short dimensions in a straight line, first mark
the total length, then divide it into shorter lengths leaving the measuring tape in place.
Where the layout lines intersect, extend the lines at least 15 cm beyond the point of
intersection to check the equipment alignment.

5 Mark the rack position on the floor, referring to the job floor plan. This position an optimal
space for cable routing (neither the anchor points nor the cable holes coincide with the
floor supports).
• On a concrete floor, use chalk to mark the front baseline and end of the rack.
• On a raised floor, line up the racks with a row of tiles. Use a felt marking pen to mark
the position of each rack on two half tiles as shown in Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3.

Procedure 4-2 Cutting Tiles for Raised Floor Cabling

1 Mark the routing areas on the tiles with a felt marking pen. Use the rack base as a
template and refer to:
• Figure 4-2 for an SI rack with cable routing at both sides

• Figure 4-3 for an SI rack with cable routing via central bottom holes
Caution — Risk of floor damage by large tile cutouts or when floor material
not solid enough.
Make sure the tile material is strong enough to carry fully equipped racks
(consult raised floor installer or vendor).
Avoid cutting out too much tile material or too close to the rack anchor points.
2 Remove the routing areas marked on the tiles with a jig saw and remove all sharp edges.
3 If the racks are not immediately installed, cover the cable routing holes in the raised floor
with solid covers.
Procedure 4-3 Floor Drilling for Rack Anchoring

1 For each rack, mark the anchor points with a felt marking pen using the rack base as a
template. Refer to the floor drilling patterns of Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5.
Note — Spacing between racks is critical, because rack ends are not
adjustable.
Pay attention to the precise positioning of the rack anchors. Install the floor
anchors for each rack only after the previous rack is mounted and attached.
2 Drill the holes using a drill bit for 10 mm diameter screws and, in the case of concrete
floor, for plugs 100 mm deep.

3 Completely remove the cuttings from the holes with a small shop vacuum cleaner;
inspect the holes for any chips.
4 In the case of concrete floor, properly insert the plugs in the drilled holes, which must be
completely clear.
5 If the rack will not be installed immediately, cover the anchor holes (plugs) in the
concrete floor with tape and cover the cable routing holes in the raised floor with solid
covers.

6.8 Installing the Fan Unit
The fan unit is a field replaceable unit with wide voltage range fans, an alarm interface
board and (optional) a dust filter. It is installed in the subrack fan area and plugs directly
into the backplane connectors providing connection.
The fan unit can be shipped factory installed in the rack, but can also be ordered as
separate unit for replacement on site.
It can be hot inserted in the subrack, it has no ON/OFF switch but removing it disconnects
power provided from the backplane.
Warning — Hot insertion of the fan unit can sometimes cause service
disruption.
The fan unit of each subrack must be equipped with a dust filter. Refer to Table 6-2.
Danger — Risk of fire and equipment damage or system failure when

cooling with the wrong fan unit, when the fans are off or when the dust
filter is dirty.
When a subrack in a powered system contains the wrong type of fan unit
(for example, a fan unit with four instead of eight fans) or when fans are
failing or out of operation, there is a risk of active plug-in units
overheating. Fan units with dirty dust filters might no longer assure
sufficient air cooling. Plug-in units might get seriously damaged, even
ignite, or cause a system failure.
Observe the following rules:
• Before switching on the rack power, make sure the correct type of fan
unit is installed and that the lower fan unit is equipped with a clean
dust filter.
• Keep all the fans in operation as long as the system is active.
• When replacing a fan unit of an active system (for example, during
maintenance, expansion or upgrade), never keep the fan area empty
for longer than five minutes.
• Make sure the dust filter is clean and replace it, depending on the
amount of dust in the CO, every three to six months.

Procedure 6-5 Installing the Fan Unit
Proceed as follows to install the fan unit:
1 Verify if the fan unit type is correct for the rack configuration. Refer to Table 6-2.
2 Remove the fan unit from its shipping packaging and inspect it for damage. If damaged,
do not mount the fan unit but notify the transportation carrier and Alcatel immediately.
3 In case of replacement, remove the installed fan unit:
i Loosen the captive screws (see Figure 6-7)
ii Pull the unit out of the fan area by the handles (see Figure 6-8).
Figure 6-7 Captive Screws
Captive screws
Figure 6-8 Fan Unit Handles
4 If the system is active, keep in mind the maximum time (five minutes) fans are allowed
to be out of operation (see Danger warning).
5 Gently insert the fan unit into the fan area until the backplane connectors are fully mated.
Secure the unit by tightening the captive screws.
6 In the same way, install the fan units of other subrack(s), if any.
7 Mount a dust filter in the fan unit of each subrack or replace it, if required (each three to
six months, depending on the amount of dust in the CO).

7.2 Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions apply:

Danger 1 — Before working on the power supply unit, verify if it is not
live.
If the power supply is live, which can deliver -48Vdc or -60Vdc, you
must use an insulated tool kit and consult the manual on working on live
components.
Danger 2 — Avoid risk of electric shock!
Always wear protective gloves and footwear for all handling tasks.
Carefully follow the instructions.
Warning 1 — Before connecting to the mains power, verify the

specifications of all equipped fan units to ensure the correct voltage will
be supplied (-48 Vdc or -60 Vdc) to these units.
Warning 2 — When no power is supplied, all fasteners requiring a
specific torque must be tightened moderately before final tightening with
a torque wrench or driver.
When power is supplied, tighten fasteners with insulated tools, according
to the specified torque.

7 — Rack Cabling
7.3 Power Cabling for 7302 FD Subrack
General
Power Distribution Frame

The rack equipment operates with -48 Vdc supplied by battery power sources in the CO.
This power is provided by the Power Distribution Frame (PDF) to the subracks.
External Ground
The FD rack provides one FG on top of the rack. The Safety Ground conductor must be
green-yellow insulated cable (EN60950 or IEC60950 compliant).
Cable Routing
Power cables are routed from the PDF to the rack via cable channels overhead or under
the raised floor. They are connected at the input terminal block inside the 7302 FD
subrack.
In order to minimize interference and optimize DSL performance, it is advisable, but not
a minimum requirement, to route power cables using separate channels for signal and
power cables.
Keeping a distance of 10 cm between signal and power cables is advisable where it
imposes no practical problems.
Crossing of signal cables with power cables and parallel routing over short distances are
acceptable.

7 — Rack Cabling
Power unit
The 7302 FD subrack is designed to be used as stand-alone equipment. It is equipped
with a power unit.
The power unit is located at the bottom left of the subrack. The power unit is covered with

7.8 Optical Fiber Management
These procedures describe the routing and connection of fiber cables for optical units in
7302 FD subracks.
General
The optical fiber management for the 7302 FD subrack is based on the following
concepts:
1 Vertical fiber routing of the optical fibers out of the rack towards overhead fiber cable
trays is foreseen in the 2 vertical fiber cable channels located at the front left and front
right side of the rack (see Figure 7-39).
2 Fiber routing and management within the 7302 FD subracks towards the dedicated
fiber outlets of the subrack.
3 Optional fiber protection and bending protection items.
Note — It is advised to protect the SFP cages, which are not equipped
with SFP modules, with dust cover 1AD 00847 0003 in order to prevent
dust intrusion.
Optical Units
The optical units, which are supported in the 7302 FD type subrack are listed in Table 7-

Fiber Cable Routing
Routing Fiber Cables from NT and NTIO Boards

The fiber cables from the NT and NTIO boards are routed in the 7302 FD subrack as
follows:
• for the NT board: the fiber cables are routed down towards the horizontal cable
channel and immediately leave the subrack via a dedicated opening
• in the left-side plate of the subrack for fibers from NT A (see Figure 7-39).
• in the right-side plate of the subrack for fibers from NT B (see Figure 7-39).
• for the NTIO board: the fiber cables are routed down towards the horizontal cable
channel and immediately leave the subrack via a dedicated opening in the left-side
plate of the subrack (see Figure 7-39).
Figure 7-39 Fiber Routing for Optical Units in NT and NTIO Slots
NT/NTIO PBA fiber

cables routing
The openings in the side plates of the subrack, provided for the exit of the fibers of the
NT optical units, are capable of handling the required number of fibers for a redundant
NT configuration (maximum 8 fibers). Only in case of standard fiber type, the number of
fibers is limited to 23.
Fiber bending management in the cable channel is used to prevent fibers from bending in
a sharp angle.

Routing Fiber Cables from LT Boards

Fiber cables from Ethernet LT boards must be routed through the MDF cable area and
then up to the top of the rack.
Note 1 — The fiber cables must be routed in front of the MDF cables
in the MDF cable area. The MDF cables are routed in the rear of the
MDF cable area.
Note 2 — The optical fibers have to be protected by rubber tubing to
prevent them being damaged by the MDF cables.
Two elements are required to correctly route the fiber cables in the subrack:
• Fiber management element (3FE 24348 ABAA; see Figure 7-41):
these elements are mounted on the cable management area (see Figure 7-44)
• Fiber bend control element (3FE 24345 AAAA; see Figure 7-42):
these elements are mounted on the side plate of the subrack (see Figure 7-45)
Figure 7-41 Fiber Management Element
Figure 7-42 Fiber Bend Control Element

7 — Rack Cabling
The fiber cables are routed:

1 straight up from the LT board
2 through the fiber management element
3 to the left (for boards in position 01 to 08) or right (for boards in position 09 to 16
and positions NTIO/17 and NTB/18)
4 through the fiber bend control element
5 up to the top of the rack (see Figure 7-43).
Caution — For LT boards mounted in position 01 and position 16:
Fiber cables coming from boards mounted in these positions have to be

routed via the fiber management elements of respectively position 02
and position 15 (see Figure 7-43.
This is to prevent a sharp, uncontrolled bend in the fiber cable.

9.1 Introduction
Overview
This chapter describes the procedures to install MDF cables:
• between 7302 FD-Combo subrack and Main Distribution Frame (MDF) in the CO
• between installed subracks:
• 7302 FD-LT subrack and XD-SP subrack
• 7302 FD-LT subrack and XD-PSP subrack
• between splitter subracks and MDF.
Note — The following applies for an 7302 FD subrack:
• An 7302 FD-LT subrack is an 7302 FD subrack equipped only with

LT boards.
• An 7302 FD-Combo subrack is an 7302 FD subrack equipped with LT
boards and splitter boards.
Cables
• xDSL cables are used to connect an 7302 FD-LT subrack, either:

• with a splitter subrack (XD-SP or XD-PSP)
• directly to the MDF.
• LINE and POTS cables are used to connect splitter boards in the 7302 FD-Combo
subrack or in the splitter subrack (XD-SP or XD-PSP) to the MDF.
Warning — Possibility of damage to equipment.
Connecting xDSL equipment to non-compliant POTS line boards could

result in damage to xDSL equipment.
Non-compliant POTS line boards may not have the required secondary
surge protection or current limiting function during specific, valid
operation states.

9 — MDF Cabling
9.2 General Information and Cable Routing Guidelines
This section gives general information and cable routing guidelines for MDF cabling.
Dummy Plates
As long as not all splitters (or appliques) are equipped in a subrack, dummy plates must
be mounted in the empty slots to secure EMC-shielding and to fix loose LINE and POTS
cables, if present.
• Dummy plate for 7302 FD subrack: 3FE 27338 ABAA
• Dummy plate for XD-SP subrack: 3EC 37714 ABAA
• Dummy plate for XD-PSP subrack: 3FE 24800 AAAA
Figure 9-1 Dummy plate for 7302 FD subrack
Figure 9-2 Dummy for CPE Subrack with MTA
Figure 9-3 Dummy for CPE Subrack without MTA
At slot deployment, the dummy plate is replaced by the appropriate board and the cables
are connected to the board.
Labeling
The cable ends are labeled for identification and destination and can have other markings
depending on local practices.

9 — MDF Cabling
Routing Inside the Rack

Half of the MDF cables in a rack are routed to the left (left AP slots, left xDSL
connectors) and half of them are routed to the right (right AP slots, right xDSL
connectors).
For each splitter in an splitter subrack, the upper two cables (LINE, POTS) are first
routed up and the lower two cables are routed down, before they are routed into the left
and right rack cable areas.
In the left and right rack routing areas, the cables are bundled and tied together while
routing them up to top-end (for overhead cabling) or down to bottom-end (for raised floor
cabling).
Routing to the MDF

Cables bundles are, per local practices, routed to the MDF via overhead rack cable guides
or under the raised floor (raised floor office). The cables of the same subrack are kept
together by properly grouping and tying them.
Cable bundling facilitates the identification of cables/wires at the MDF side and makes
it possible to replace the entire MDF cable set of one subrack, if required.
MDF Cable Length

When a cable can have different lengths, then the cable code is mentioned as for “xx”
defines the cable length.
For example, 3FE 29405 HLAA is the code for a cable type 3FE 29405 with a length of
25 m.
Figure 9-4 gives an overview of the different possible combinations.

MDF Cabling Guidelines

The following guidelines must be observed when installing MDF cabling:
Note — The order of MDF cabling is not compulsory.
The order in which MDF cables are installed in following procedures can,
but must not be applied. However, it is recommended to:
• Run 96-pair cables by two or four. They connect to four or eight
successive splitters (the connectors of one 96-pair cable fit four
adjacent LINE or POTS connectors).
• When cabling the upper part of the splitter area, first fit LINE then fit
POTS connectors, when cabling the lower part, first fit POTS then fit
LINE connectors.
Note — Bundle and route cables in an orderly and efficient way.
Keep cables in the correct order when bundling and routing.

Tie up cables at regular distances with tie wraps and/or lacing cord, use
subrack bars, rack supports and overhead cable guides.
Put the cable (bundles) as tight as possible to each other. Efficiently use
all space available in the areas between racks, in guides overhead and
under raised floor.
Caution — Risk of performance degradation for VDSL when

non-VDSL-specific cables are used for LINE cabling.
It is recommended to upgrade the LINE SIDE cabling of the subrack,
when VDSL deployment is foreseen.
Caution — Risk of EMC disturbance when MDF cables are not

shielded.
When MDF cables have no or insufficient shielding, the xDSL and POTS
signals carried could suffer from EMC disturbance, certainly when
mixing different xDSL signal types (for example, xDSL over POTS with
xDSL over ISDN or SHDSL).
To comply with EMC, it is recommended to:
• Apply shielded LINE and POTS cables between the MDF and the rack
(Alcatel always provides shielded cables)
• Connect, if possible, the shielding of each MDF cable to Ground at
MDF end.

9.3 Procedures
The following procedures are described in this chapter:

If the 7302 FD subrack is used in Combo configuration (that is, the subrack is equipped
with LT boards and splitter boards):
• for the internal cabling between the LT boards and the splitter boards in the 7302
FD-Combo subrack, refer to 9.4
• for the POTS and LINE cabling between the splitter boards in the 7302 FD-Combo
subrack and the MDF:
• for cabling with 2x24-pair cables, refer to 9.5
• for cabling with 96-pair cables, refer to 9.6
If the 7302 FD subrack is used in LT configuration (that is, the subrack is only equipped
with LT boards):
• when the 7302 FD-LT subrack is used together with an XD-SP subrack:
• for the intra-rack cabling: refer to 9.7
• for the LINE and POTS cabling between the XD-SP subrack and the MDF: refer to 9.8
• when the 7302 FD-LT subrack is used together with an XD-PSP subrack:
• for the intra-rack cabling: refer to 9.9
• for the LINE and POTS cabling between the XD-PSP subrack and the MDF: refer to 9.10

11.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to mount the 7330 FD subrack in:

• a 19” rack
• an ETSI rack
11.2 Environmental and Mounting Constraints
The following is a list of environmental and mounting constraints in CO, CEV, and OSP
cabinets for the 7330 FD subrack:
• Avoid installing the 7330 FD subrack adjacent to any other equipment that exhausts
or takes in cooling air, in order to avoid overheating.
• Any deployment of the 7330 FD subrack in closed cabinets must be in GR-487 or GR-
3108-CORE Class 2 cabinets where, in part the cabinets provide maximum 65°C inlet
air to the fans at a cabinet external ambient temperature of 46°C, 1800 m altitude, and
full solar loading including any preheating of cabinet airflow by other equipment.
• Deployment of the 7330 FD subrack in COs is not recommended for closed cabinets
(only open relay racks). If closed cabinets must be used, the cabinets must provide a
maximum 50°C inlet air to the shelf fans at a CO external ambient temperature of
50°C, 1800 m altitude (GR-63 CO conditions). The cabinet must not restrict shelf
airflow or add temperature rise above GR-63 CO conditions including a preheating of
cabinet airflow by other equipment.
• In CO and CEVs with the 7330 FD subrack, the fan unit can be operated with fan
filters but these filters must be changed only with new fan filters available from
Alcatel every three months or sooner depending on conditions; otherwise,
overheating and thermal failure will result.
• In OSP cabinets with the 7330 FD subrack, the fan unit of the 7330 FD subrack must
be operated without fan filters; otherwise, overheating and thermal failure will result.
• Never operate the 7330 FD subrack without the shelf cover fully installed; otherwise,
overheating and thermal failure will result.
• Never operate the 7330 FD subrack with any empty slots. All slots must contain either
active units or appropriate filler plates; otherwise, overheating, thermal, or EMC/ESD
failure will result. Refer to Table 11-1.
• Never operate the 7330 FD subrack with its fan unit removed or non-operational for
more than 2 minutes.
• The intake and exhaust of all shelf mounting configurations must not contain any
obstructions caused by cabinet mounting hardware, rack hardware, or other electronic
equipment. The intake and exhaust should not obstruct or interfere with shelf-level
airflows so that bulk airflows and slot velocities drop below those listed in Table 11-1.
Table 11-1 Volumetric Flow Rate
Configuration Volumetric flow rate in CFM
Fan - low speed (< 25°C) Fan - high speed (> 40°C)

11.5 Installing the Fan Unit
The fan unit is a field replaceable unit with wide voltage range fans, an alarm interface
board and (optional) a dust filter. It is installed in the subrack fan area and plugs directly
into the backplane connectors providing connection.
The fan unit can be shipped factory installed in the rack, but can also be ordered as
separate unit for replacement on site.
It can be hot inserted in the subrack, it has no ON/OFF switch but removing it disconnects
power provided from the backplane.
Warning — Hot insertion of the fan unit can sometimes cause service
disruption.
The fan unit of each subrack must be equipped with a dust filter.
Danger — Risk of fire and equipment damage or system failure when

cooling with the wrong fan unit, when the fans are off or when the dust
filter is dirty.
When a subrack in a powered system contains the wrong type of fan unit
(for example, a fan unit with four instead of eight fans) or when fans are
failing or out of operation, there is a risk of active plug-in units
overheating. Fan units with dirty dust filters might no longer assure
sufficient air cooling. Plug-in units might get seriously damaged, even
ignite, or cause a system failure.
Observe the following rules:
• Before switching on the rack power, make sure the correct type of fan
unit is installed and that the fan unit is equipped with a clean dust
filter.
• Keep all the fans in operation as long as the system is active.
• When replacing a fan unit of an active system (for example, during
maintenance, expansion or upgrade), never keep the fan area empty
for longer than five minutes.
• Make sure the dust filter is clean and replace it, depending on the
amount of dust in the CO, every three to six months.

Procedure 11-3 Installing the Fan Unit
Proceed as follows to install (or replace) the fan unit:
1 Remove the fan unit from its shipping packaging and inspect it for damage. If damaged,
do not mount the fan unit but notify the transportation carrier and Alcatel immediately.
2 In case of replacement, remove the installed fan unit:
i Loosen the captive screw (see Figure 11-7).
ii Pull the unit out of the fan area.
Figure 11-7 Captive Screws

3 If the system is active, keep in mind the maximum time (five minutes) fans are allowed
to be out of operation (see Danger warning).
4 Gently insert the fan unit into the fan area until the backplane connectors are fully mated.
Secure the unit by tightening the captive screw.
5 In the same way, install the fan units of other subrack(s), if any.
6 Mount a dust filter in the fan unit of each subrack or replace it, if required (each three to
six months, depending on the amount of dust in the CO).
i Loosen the captive screw of the filter (see Figure 11-7)
ii Slide the filter out of the fan unit.
iii Slide the new filter in the fan unit.
iv Tighten the captive screw.

12.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the following:

• Applicable safety precautions
• Rack power connection
• Subrack grounding connection
• Alarm cable connection
• Optical fiber management
12.2 Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions apply:

Danger 1 — Before working on the power supply unit, verify if it is not
live.
If the power supply is live, which can deliver -48Vdc or -60Vdc, you
must use an insulated tool kit and consult the manual on working on live
components.
Danger 2 — Avoid risk of electric shock!
Always wear protective gloves and footwear for all handling tasks.
Carefully follow the instructions.
Warning 1 — Before connecting to the mains power, verify the

specifications of all equipped fan units to ensure the correct voltage will
be supplied (-48 Vdc or -60 Vdc) to these units.
Warning 2 — When no power is supplied, all fasteners requiring a
specific torque must be tightened moderately before final tightening with
a torque wrench or driver.
When power is supplied, tighten fasteners with insulated tools, according
to the specified torque.

12.3 Power Cabling
General
Power Distribution Frame

The 7330 FD subrack operates with -48 Vdc supplied by battery power sources in the
CO. This power is provided by the Power Distribution Frame (PDF) to the subracks.
Cable Routing
Power cables are routed from the PDF to the subrack and are connected at the input
terminal block inside the 7330 FD subrack.
In order to minimize interference and optimize DSL performance, it is advisable, but not
a minimum requirement, to route cables using separate channels for signal and power
cables.
Keeping a distance of 10 cm between signal and power cables is advisable where it
imposes no practical problems.
Crossing of signal cables with power cables and parallel routing over short distances are
acceptable.
Power Unit
The 7330 FD subrack is designed to be used as stand-alone equipment. It is equipped
with a power unit.
The power unit is covered with a plastic safety cover; see Figure 12-1.

12.6 Optical Fiber Management
These procedures describe the routing and connection of fiber cables for optical units in
7330 FD subracks.
General
The optical fiber management for the 7330 FD subrack is based on the following
concepts:
1 Vertical fiber routing of the optical fibers out of the rack towards overhead fiber cable
trays is foreseen in the 2 vertical fiber cable channels located at the front left and front
right side of the rack (see Figure 12-11).
2 Fiber routing and management within the 7330 FD subracks towards the dedicated
fiber outlets of the subrack.
3 Optional fiber protection and bending protection items.
Note — It is advised to protect the SFP cages, which are not equipped
with SFP modules, with dust cover 1AD 00847 0003 in order to prevent
dust intrusion.

this general procedure.
General
Boards or assemblies with ESD sensitive devices are labelled or tagged with the ESD
awareness symbol shown in Figure 13-5.
Figure 13-5 ESD Awareness Symbol
Caution — Risk of damage to equipment with ESD sensitive devices.
Most boards and powered equipment contain devices that are susceptible to
ESD. ESD could damage these or other devices in unconnected circuit
conditions.
Ensure that ESD conditions meet requirements of ETS 300 386 1 2.
Carefully follow these rules when handling ESD sensitive boards.
• Transport and store boards in ESD protective bags or boxes

• Make sure to wear a grounded wrist strap before handling
• DO NOT touch circuit traces or components on the board
• Handle boards at front and side edges only.

Procedure
1 Review requirements (ETS 300 386 1 2) for handling ESD boards.
2 Put on the antistatic wrist strap and connect it to the Earth Bonding Point at the bottom
of the 7330 FD subrack, it carries the label of Figure 13-6.

14.1 Introduction
Overview
This chapter describes the procedures to install MDF cables:
• between 7330 FD-LT subrack and Main Distribution Frame (MDF) in the CO
• between 7330 FD-Combo subrack and Main Distribution Frame (MDF) in the CO:
• between LT boards and splitter boards
• between splitter boards and MDF
Note — The following applies for an 7330 FD subrack:
• An 7330 FD-LT subrack is an 7330 FD subrack equipped only with

LT boards.
• An 7330 FD-Combo subrack is an 7330 FD subrack equipped with LT
boards and splitter boards.
Cables
• xDSL cables are used to connect an 7330 FD-LT subrack directly to the MDF
• LINE and POTS cables are used to connect splitter boards in the 7330 FD-Combo
subrack to the MDF.
Warning — Possibility of damage to equipment.
Connecting xDSL equipment to non-compliant POTS line boards could

result in damage to xDSL equipment.
Non-compliant POTS line boards may not have the required secondary
surge protection or current limiting function during specific, valid
operation states.

14.2 General Information and Cable Routing Guidelines
This section gives general information and cable routing guidelines for MDF cabling.
Dummy Plates
As long as not all splitters (or appliques) are equipped in a subrack, dummy plates must
be mounted in the empty slots to secure EMC-shielding and to fix loose LINE and POTS
cables, if present.
• Dummy plate for 7330 FD subrack: 3FE 27338 ABAA
Figure 14-1 Dummy plate for 7330 FD subrack
At slot deployment, the dummy plate is replaced by the appropriate board and the cables
are connected to the board.
Labeling
The cable ends are labeled for identification and destination and can have other markings
depending on local practices.
MDF Cable Length

When a cable can have different lengths, then the cable code is mentioned as for “xx”
defines the cable length. For example, 3FE 29405 HLAA is the code for a cable type
3FE 29405 with a length of 25 m. Figure 14-2 gives an overview of the different possible
combinations.

MDF Cabling Guidelines

The following guidelines must be observed when installing MDF cabling:
Note — The order of MDF cabling is not compulsory.
The order in which MDF cables are installed in following procedures can,
but must not be applied. However, it is recommended to:
• Run 96-pair cables by two or four. They connect to four or eight
successive splitters (the connectors of one 96-pair cable fit four
adjacent LINE or POTS connectors).
• When cabling the upper part of the splitter area, first fit LINE then fit
POTS connectors, when cabling the lower part, first fit POTS then fit
LINE connectors.
Note — Bundle and route cables in an orderly and efficient way.
Keep cables in the correct order when bundling and routing.

Tie up cables at regular distances with tie wraps and/or lacing cord, use
subrack bars, rack supports and overhead cable guides.
Put the cable (bundles) as tight as possible to each other. Efficiently use
all space available in the areas between racks, in guides overhead and
under raised floor.
Caution — Risk of performance degradation for VDSL when

non-VDSL-specific cables are used for LINE cabling.
It is recommended to upgrade the LINE SIDE cabling of the subrack,
when VDSL deployment is foreseen.
Caution — Risk of EMC disturbance when MDF cables are not

shielded.
When MDF cables have no or insufficient shielding, the xDSL and POTS
signals carried could suffer from EMC disturbance, certainly when
mixing different xDSL signal types (for example, xDSL over POTS with
xDSL over ISDN or SHDSL).
To comply with EMC, it is recommended to:
• Apply shielded LINE and POTS cables between the MDF and the rack
(Alcatel always provides shielded cables)
• Connect, if possible, the shielding of each MDF cable to Ground at
MDF end.

14.3 Procedures
The following procedures are described in this chapter:

If the 7330 FD subrack is used in Combo configuration (that is, the subrack is equipped
with LT boards and splitter boards):
• for the internal cabling between the LT boards and the splitter boards in the 7330
FD-Combo subrack, refer to 14.4
• for the POTS and LINE cabling between the splitter boards in the 7330 FD-Combo
subrack and the MDF:
• for cabling with 2x24-pair cables, refer to 14.5
• for cabling with 96-pair cables, refer to 14.6
• for the MDF cabling between VDSL boards in the 7330 FD-LT subrack and the
splitters mounted in the MDF, refer to 14.7
Note — All the procedures are described for fully equipped subracks.

This section describes the MDF cabling procedure between a 7330 FD subrack and
splitters mounted in the MDF frame.
MDF Splitters
The MDF splitters are mounted in a rack.
Each splitter is equipped with 4 ports, so 12 MDF splitters are required for each equipped
48-port VDSL LT board.
Figure 14-19 shows the pinning of the board connectors.

One cable is required for each installed LT board.
Connection/Locking
On the subrack side, the MDF cable is connected to the LT boards and secured with
baillocks.
On the splitter side, an RJ45 connector must used for each group of 4 Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) cables.
Connection Table
12 MDF splitters are required for each equipped 48-port VDSL LT board.
The first 6 MDF splitters (that is, RJ1 to RJ6 are connected to the UTP cables of the blue
bundle.
The next 6 MDF splitters (that is, RJ7 to RJ12) are connected to the UTP cables of the
orange bundle.
