Toshiba CIX Cabling and Connectors

The Strata CIX uses industry standard cabling and connectors to interface with lines, stations, and peripherals. Stations use standard twisted-pair cabling to connect to the system via the MDF. Digital and standard telephones require just one pair-cabling. Two pairs may be required to achieve full distance when optional DP subassemblies are used.

Digital telephones connected to BDKS require an external power supply to reach maximum distance from KSU when the telephone has a DADM or DOCA-1A.

Station circuit cards connect to stations and peripherals with a 25-pair Amphenol connector via the MDF. Analog CO, DID, and Tie line circuits interface with the public telephone network via modular connectors. T1 and ISDN use industry-standard Amphenol and modular connectors (for details, see Table 38 on page 169).

Peripheral devices such as eManager maintenance PCs, etc., connect to a hub or LAN, which

connects to the processor’s Ethernet LAN interface via an RJ45 connector and Category 5 wiring. Call Accounting and Voice Mail SMDI require RS-232 modular adapters and cords to connect to the processor BSIS interface.
