The following graphic orients the card housing with the MPX cable connectors:
Figure 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.
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) and 8-port OC-48 cards.
The GbE-10 and 8-port OC-48 cards must be ordered with a 10-port SFP connector module (SCM).
Note: Although a 10-port SFP connector module is used with the 8-port OC-48 card, only 8 ports on the SCM are used.
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.

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 Chapter 16—“Ethernet (Electrical) Cabling Procedures.”
For general electrical connector card (ECM) information, see Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications.”
Important: For optical Ethernet specifications, cabling, and protection (for EoPDH, NGE, NGE Plus, 10GbE, and GbE-10 cards), see Chapter 1—“Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications.”
Traverse Cabling and Cabling Specifications Guide, Release TR5.0.x 45
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 1—“Fiber 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 Management System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 15—“Overview of Protection Groups.”
NGE and EoPDH Card Types
Force10 Networks offers these single-slot GbE/FE interface combination cards:
NGE
• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 2-port GbE SX plus 2-port GbE CWDM (40 km) plus 16-port
10/100BaseT• 4-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 4-port GbE CWDM (40 km) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX
NGE Plus
• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100TX with Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP)
• 4-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP
EoPDH
• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100TX with Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) and EoPDH
• 4-port GbE LX or SX plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP and EoPDH
46 Chapter 5 Ethernet (Electrical) Interface Cabling Specifications
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 Chapter 2—“ECM 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.
Port Mapping Scheme
Port mapping schemes vary depending on the Ethernet card type:• 4-port GbE (LX, SX, or CWDM) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 4-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP• 4-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP and EoPDH• 2-port GbE SX plus 2-port GbE CWDM (40 km) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX
Ports 1 through 4 on these cards are optical ports. Ports 5 through 20 are 10/100 electrical interface ports. Connect the 16 electrical interface ports as follows:– Ports 5 through 8 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 9–12)– Ports 9 through 20 connect to the second Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS
13–24)• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP• 2-port GbE TX plus 2-port GbE (LX or SX) plus 16-port 10/100BaseTX with CEP
and EoPDHPorts 3 and 4 on these cards are optical ports. Ports 1and 2 are GbE TX electrical interface ports. Ports 5 through 20 are 10/100 electrical interface ports. Connect the 2 GbE TX and 16 10/100 electrical interface ports as follows:– Ports 1and 2 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 1–2)– Ports 5 through 8 connect to the first Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS 9–12)– Ports 9 through 20 connect to the second Telco 50 connector (ECM PORTS

Ethernet Protection ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards
The Ethernet Protection ECM also supports an unprotected scheme for NGE, NGE Plus or EoPDH card GbE-TX and 10/100BaseTX ports. Although, Force10 recommends you use the 10/100BaseT ECM (described in 10/100BaseT ECM for Unprotected NGE and EoPDH Cards) for greater port capacity. 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. See Port Mapping Scheme and ECM Pinout and Cable Color Code for Electrical NGE and EoPDH Ports.

Chapter 6 Alarm Interface Specifications
Introduction This chapter includes the following topics:• Alarm Interface Description• Alarm Output Wire-Wrap Posts• Alarm Output Contacts• Environmental Alarm Wire-Wrap Posts and EAM• Environmental Alarm Input Contacts
Alarm Interface Description
The General Control Module (GCM) card generates Traverse system alarm signals and provides the common (COM), normally-open (NO), and normally-closed (NC0 contacts through individual relays. The Traverse system supports standard system critical, major, minor; visual and audible alarms. Access to system alarm contacts is provided via wire-wrap posts located on the Traverse 1600, Traverse 2000, and Traverse 600 main backplanes.
Normally-open Contacts
System alarms operate by default using the COM and NO contacts. When an alarm state occurs, the circuit between the COM and NO contacts is closed generating a visual or audible alarm. Alarm contacts are bridged between the active and standby GCMs. A single GCM is capable of generating and maintaining system alarms if the standby GCM is out of service.
Fail-safe Alarm
All system alarms are masked and a fail-safe alarm is generated if both GCMs go out-of-service. The fail-safe alarm is the only normally-closed alarm. The fail-safe alarm is generated when GCMs are installed and operational, and then go into an out-of-service state. The fail-safe alarm is also generated when both GCMs are physically removed from the Traverse shelf.
Environmental Alarms
The Traverse backplane provides hardware support for sixteen environmental alarm inputs. The environmental telemetry inputs and outputs are supported by the optional Environmental Alarm Module (EAM) located on the main backplane. The EAM provides additional system-management functions to accommodate customer-defined

alarm input/output requirements. The module is field replaceable and can be replaced without disconnecting the alarm wiring. Environmental alarms only support normally-open (NO) contacts.
Alarm Output Wire-Wrap Posts
The Traverse main backplane provide access to system alarm contacts via 0.045-inch (1.1 mm) square wire-wrap posts on 0.200-inch (0.5 mm) centers. The following graphic shows where these wire-wrap posts are located on the Traverse main backplane.

Backplane DCN Ethernet and RS-232 DTE Interface
The backplane DCN Ethernet and RS-232 DTE interfaces are supported by shielded vertical 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on the main backplane.
Backplane DCN Ethernet. The Traverse system provides a data communications network (DCN) to connect a Traverse node to the TransNav Management System and to other remote management devices. The DCN Ethernet interface is located on the Traverse main backplane. Only the active General Control Module (GCM) has a physical connection to the DCN Ethernet RJ-45 connector. Ethernet signals are bridged to both the working and protect GCM cards for communication to Traverse nodes. This enables the TransNav Management System to always talk to the working GCM, even after a protection switch.
A network of Traverse nodes can be managed over the service provider’s DCN as long as one Traverse node is directly connected to that network through the DCN Ethernet interface. This node is referred to as the Traverse Management Gateway Node (MGN). Traverse nodes that have no direct connection to a DCN can communicate with the TransNav system indirectly, through the Traverse Management Gateway node via the data communications channel (DCC) of an OC-12 or OC-48 card interface.
The backplane DCN Ethernet interface also allows telnet access directly to any Traverse node in the network through the DCC.
The DCN Ethernet interface is a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface type, supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseT, supports half- and full-duplex modes, and is compliant to IEEE 802.3 signal definition for an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. Pinouts for the DCN Ethernet interface are provided in the following table.
Note: Although this interface is set to auto-negotiate between 10/100BaseT and half- and full-duplex modes, Force10 recommends a 100BaseT with half-duplex configuration.

Chapter 9 Power Interface Specifications
Introduction This chapter includes the following specifications:• Power System Interface• Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP) Description• Fan Tray Holder Power Interface
Power System Interface
Redundant central office battery and battery return connects to a fuse panel. A fuse panel can distribute battery and battery return to up to four Traverse shelves and typically up to five pieces of auxiliary equipment in a rack.
Fuse panels have two DC power inputs (Battery ‘A’ and Battery ‘B’). Each of these inputs is capable of supplying power to the Traverse system during central office maintenance operations. The recommended gauge wire for power cabling is #8 AWG (9mm2) for Force10’s PDAP-4S or #12 AWG (3.3 mm2) for Force10’s PDAP-15A.
For Traverse power terminal locations, refer to any one of the Traverse rear view graphics in the Traverse Hardware Guide for the desired shelf.
For power consumption values, refer to the Planning and Engineering Guide, Chapter 1—“Traverse Equipment Specifications,” Power Consumption.
Important: Carefully plan your power supply capacity. The Force10 PDAP-4S with standard 40 amp fuses at -40 VDC provides 1600 watts. Force10 recommends using higher amperage fuses if your power requirements go above a minimum of 1400 watts. If you fail to make sufficient plans to meet the power requirements of your specific configuration, and the power draw goes above the maximum capacity of your power supply design, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip, resulting in a loss of traffic.

Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP) Description
The Traverse system is powered by central office battery (–48 VDC). Redundant central office (CO) battery and battery return is connected to the Power Distribution and Alarm Panel (PDAP). Isolate DC power returns from frame ground (DC-I).• PDAP-4S• PDAP-15A
The PDAP provides the following:• Terminates redundant –48 VDC central office battery• Terminates central office battery return• Distributes redundant battery and battery return• Provides power protection for Traverse shelves and auxiliary equipment• Visually display input power, fuse power, and critical, major, and minor bay alarms
PDAP-4S The PDAP-4S distributes battery and battery return to up to four Traverse 1600 or Traverse 2000 shelves in a rack. It provides power protection with 40 amp TPA fuses for up to four Traverse shelves and GMT fuses (from 0.25 amps to 15 amps per fuse) for up to 5 pieces of auxiliary equipment. Power, fuse and visual alarm input connections are made at the back of the PDAP-4S.1 Audible, remote visual and audible, fail-safe and environmental alarm connections are made at the Traverse main backplane. Optional visual alarm external switch connections are available on the PDAP-4S.
For more information on PDAP-4S, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 5—“Power Distribution and Alarm Panels,” PDAP-4S.
PDAP-15A The PDAP-15A distributes battery and battery return to Traverse 600 shelves. The PDAP-15A provides GMT fuses (from 0.25 amps to 15 amps per fuse) for up to ten pieces of auxiliary equipment. The PDAP’s field replaceable fuses are accessible without having to remove the front panel. Force10 recommends using a 3 amp fuse per power feeder for the TE-100 and a 5 amp fuse per power feeder for the Traverse 600.
The PDAP-15A provides visual alarm status indicators for input power, fuse power, and critical, major, and minor bay alarms.
For more information on PDAP-4S, see the Traverse Hardware Guide, Chapter 5—“Power Distribution and Alarm Panels,” PDAP-15A.
