WS-C1400 Concentrator

WS-C1400 Concentrator

Product Overview

The stackable WS-C1400 CDDI/FDDI concentrator combines the compact form factor of workgroup concentrators with the versatility of modular hubs. The concentrator consists of a base unit and a variety of line cards, which are listed in Table 15-4.

Cables must be ordered separately. See "Hardware," later in this chapter, for cable descriptions and ordering information.

Figure 15-1 shows a rear view of the WS-C1400 CDDI/FDDI concentrator.

Standard Features

The WS-C1400 concentrator includes the following standard features:

Hardware

This section describes the hardware, accessories, and options available for the WS-C1400 concentrator. Each item is described, and the product number included, in Table 15-4.

The C703 CDDI/FDDI media translator is used to convert between CDDI and FDDI links. It includes a transceiver and a +5V external 120-VAC power supply for North America. Table 15-3 provides specifications for the C703 CDDI/FDDI media translator.

Agency compliance FCC Part 15, Subpart J, Class A

1 VAC = volts alternating current.

Figure 15-2 shows the most typical configurations for CDDI/FDDI translators. A standard patch cable is used to connect the FDDI side to the media translator. A cross-connect cable is used to connect the CDDI side, except when connecting a workgroup 1000 concentrator (MLT-2), which requires a straight-through cable.


Figure 15-2: Typical Configuration of the CDDI/FDDI Media Translator



Two kinds of UTP modular cables can be used--cross-connect and straight-through:

  • The UTP cross-connect modular cable (WS-C710) is a 7-foot long, data-grade modular cable for connecting the workgroup concentrator M port to the patch panel. A 1-foot, cross-connect cable (WS-C711) is also available for daisy-chaining A/B CDDI ports.

  • The UTP straight-through cables are 7-foot (WS-C717) or 25-foot (WS-C725) long, data-grade modular cables for connecting the CDDI/FDDI adapter to the wall plate.

The STP-to-UTP converter (WS-C737) is used to connect CDDI equipment to IBM Type 1 STP cabling systems.
The FDDI patch cable (WS-C757) is a 7-foot long, fiber-optic cable with MICs on each end.
The FDDI MIC-to-FDDI SC cable (WS-C767) is a 7-foot long, fiber-optic cable with an MIC on one end and an SC connector on the other end.
The optical attenuation set (WS-C784) includes two 10-dB optical attenuators, one for each signal direction. The set must be used in single-mode fiber applications having a total link attenuation of less than 10 dB.
The wall-mounting kit (WS-C1670) contains hardware mounting accessories to mount the WS-C1400 chassis on the wall.
Workgroup products are shipped with North American power cords standard. Specify on your order alternate power cords for European (220V), U.K., Italian, or Australian power cords. For product numbers, see the "Power Cords" chapter.
