Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
Site Planning
Table 3-4 contains specifications for DC-powered systems for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Routers.
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router AC power supply requires a 20 A circuit breaker.
Table 3-5 lists AC and DC power supply system rating requirements for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
Site Cabling Guidelines
This section contains guidelines for wiring and cabling at your site. When preparing your site for
network connections to the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router, consider the type of cable required for each
component, and the cable limitations. Consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and
connector compatibility. Possible cable types are fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair cabling, or
unshielded twisted-pair cabling.
Also consider any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches,
modems, channel service units (CSUs), or data service units (DSUs).
Before you begin, read this important note about cabling:
The E1 interface on the Cisco 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA interface uses RJ-48c receptacles for E1
(120-ohm) cables with RJ-45 connectors. You can use all the ports simultaneously. Each E1 connection
supports interfaces that meet the G.703 standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external
transceiver. The E1 ports are E1 interfaces that use 120 ohm-shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
Warning
Shielded-twisted pair T1/E1 cables must be used with the 8-port channelized T1/E1 SPA interfaces in
any Cisco ASR 1000 chassis. This is required for Compliance with Class A emissions requirements for
EMC.
Warning
Shielded-twisted pair T1/E1 cables must be used with any of the T1/E1 NIM interfaces in any Cisco
ASR 1000 chassis. This is required for Compliance with Class A emissions requirements for EMC.
Before you install the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router, have all the additional external equipment and cables
at hand. For ordering information, contact a Cisco customer service representative.
