System Overview
1.05 The TITAN 5500/S system allows for various system sizes, determined by
the number of traffic DS3 equivalent ports available on the system as follows:
• 128-port system, also called the TITAN 5500S
• 256-port nonexpandable system with a maximum of 256 ports

• 256-port expandable system that can be configured for expansion to
1024- or 2048-ports then to 3072-ports
• 1024-port system with a maximum of 1024 ports
• 1024-port system that can be configured for expansion to 2048- then

to 3072-ports
• 2048-port system with a maximum of 2048 ports.
• 2048-port system that can be configured for expansion to 3072 ports
• 3072-port system with a maximum of 3072 ports.
Bay Configurations
1.06 Bay configurations for the systems vary according to the size of the
system. The number of bays housing the port equipment also varies, depending on
the type and number of DS1, DS3, STS1, OC-3, and OC-12 interfaces.
Note: For parameters about the distances between rack types, refer to System
Layout Rules, page 18-22.
1.07 Combine the floor plans for each type or size of system in Figures 1.2
through 1.9, page 18-7, with the measurements for the system components shown
in Figure 1.1, page 18-2. In the figure, A=5-inch spacers and B=10-inch spacers.
Note that 10-inch spacers are used on both sides of network bays for 256
expandable systems, 1024, 2048, and 3072 port systems. Refer to the System
Layout Rules, page 18-22, for more information.
Note 1: If the port bay is configured with octal DS1 shelves, use 10-inch spacers
on both sides.
Note 2: The following drawings do not include the optional maintenance bay,
Part No. 81.5570.

Administrative Complex
1.10 The Administrative Complex (AC) is available in two configurations,
depending on whether the system is a TITAN 5500S (128-port system) or a TITAN
5500 (256-port system or greater):
• The TITAN 5500S has a capacity of 128 DS3 or STS1 equivalents. It
combines both AC-A and AC-B and both NC-A and NC-B into one
rack, with two AC shelves and two NC shelves. This system includes
a Breaker/Frame Alarm Panel (B/FAP) and an Alarm Interface Panel
(AIP). A modem shelf is not used with this system size. Refer to Figure
1.10, page 18-10.
• In the TITAN 5500 system, the AC is housed in one rack, which
includes two AC shelves (Tellabs Part No. 8x.0550A). The system
includes a B/FAP, an AIP, and an optional modem shelf. Refer to
Figure 1.11, page 18-11.
Note: Most references in the current version of this document are to the
Administrative Complex shelf 0550A Revision J and later. For information
about Revision I and earlier versions of the AC shelf, refer to previous
versions of this document. Refer to the Installation Manual, 76.5500/7, for

Network Complex
1.11 The Network Complex (NC) is available in several configurations
including the 5500S and 5500 systems. The following information relates the types
of system sizes available:
• The TITAN 5500S has both NC-A and NC-B and both AC-A and
AC-B located in one rack with two AC shelves and two NC shelves.
Refer to Figure 1.10, page 18-10, for a diagram of the 5500S.
• The TITAN 5500 has several NC rack configurations depending on the

system size. The NC can have one, two, four, or eight racks. Currently,
an expandable 1024-port system can be increased to a maximum of
2048 ports. Then it can be expanded to a maximum of 3073 ports.
Refer to Table 1.2, for a description of system sizes and the number
of racks needed for each configuration.

76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-13

Port Equipment Complex

1.13 The port equipment complex are shelves pre-mounted in a rack along with
the 5550 Breaker/Frame Alarm Panel, which is located at the top of the rack. Up to
four port equipment shelves fit in one rack. Refer to Table 1.4, for a listing of port
shelf types.
Table 1.4 Number of Circuits per Port Shelf Type
Shelf Type Part No. Circuits/Rack Circuits/Shelf
DS1 shelf 8x.0550D 448 DS1 circuits 112 circuits
Double-density DS1 shelf 8x.0550M 896 DS1 circuits 224 circuits

Note: Refer to the Installation Manual, 76.5500/7, for more information about the
port shelves.
Port Shelf Cabling 1.14 Port equipment shelves can be installed to a maximum of 600 cable feet
from the switch network. However, placing port shelves in different locations at long
distances can reduce system capacity due to Local Area Network (LAN)
limitations. The cost of fiber cables increases substantially at lengths greater than
300 cable feet. Refer to LAN Cables for Controlling Port and Network Shelf
Equipment, page 18-104.
1.15 The ACs are connected to each NC and port equipment shelf via shielded
twisted pair LAN cables.
1.16 Port equipment shelves are connected to the NCs with fiber optic cables.
These cables have a special proprietary design that allows floating, blind-mate
connections. This design allows ESS modules or TSI modules to be removed or
installed while the fiber cable is attached to the shelf backplane. Tellabs does not
recommend splicing or field terminating the cables.

1.21 Certain rack heights and colors are considered special order and require
additional cost and lead time. Systems are custom fitted to 23-inch unequal flange
Bell earthquake racks. If you decide to use a rack other than listed in the tables
above, the design of the substitute rack may prevent the shelves from fitting
correctly. If rack base extenders are needed to increase the rack base to 15 inches,
refer to Rack Base Extenders, page 18-64.
Additional System Components

1.22 In order to match the type of frame used by the system, you may prefer to
order the spacers, end panel kits, rack height extenders, if appropriate, and AC
outlets from Tellabs.
76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-21

System Layout Rules

1.23 A sketch of the floor plan must be included with the Fiber and LAN Cable
Ordering Form sent to the Tellabs Deployment Engineering Department. Refer to
Section 2, Site-specific Material, page 18-29. All of the following rules are checked
by Tellabs after the fiber and LAN cabling data is recorded.
1. All NC racks and octal DS1 racks must have 10-inch spacers on both
sides.
2. Expandable NCs must expand from left to right (front view). Do not
install an empty rack in expansion slots until the system is expanded
from 256 ports to 1024 ports, or from 1024 ports to 2048 or 3072 ports.
3. The rack distance between the CSS shelf on the NC rack of each NC
copy must not exceed the following amounts. Refer to Figures 1.13
through 1.15, page 18-23 (NTDM-A to NTDM-B in all figures):
- 50 feet total rack distance for 256-, 1024-, 2048-, and 3072-port
expanded systems
- 100 feet total rack distance for new 2048- and 3072-port systems.
4. The synchronization timing cables (NTDM to NTDM) between the
NCs must be the same length and must comply with the following
lengths:
- 50 feet or less total cable length for 256- and 1024-port systems
- 100 feet cable length for 2048- and 3072-port systems.
5. The rack distance and cable length between AC-A and AC-B and the
CSS shelf on the NC rack of either NC copy must not exceed the
following amounts. Refer to Figures 1.13 through 1.15, page 18-23
(arrows leading to AC-A and AC-B).
- 50 feet total cable length for 256- and 1024-port systems

- 100 feet total cable length for 2048- and 3072-port systems.

6. Port equipment shelves are connected to the switch network by red

and blue network fiber cables. The maximum length of these cables is
600 cable feet.
7. The difference in length between NC-A fiber cables and the NC-B fiber
cables to a particular port shelf cannot exceed 50 feet When a red or
blue fiber cable is replaced, adhere to the following rules:
- If replacing a fiber cable to make the run longer, the new cable
cannot extend more than 50 feet beyond the length of the shortest
fiber cable connected to the shelf. Refer to an example shown in
Figure 1.16.
- In addition, if replacing a fiber cable to make the run longer, the
new cable cannot exceed 50 feet beyond the original cable length
at port shelf installation. Refer to an example shown in Figure
1.17, page 18-25.
- If replacing a fiber cable to make the run shorter, the new cable
cannot be more than 50 feet less than the length of the longest
fiber cable connected to the shelf. Refer to an example shown in

8. LAN cables connect the AC to the port equipment shelves. The LAN
cables run in a daisy-chain formation from shelf to shelf. The maximum
number of shelves or LAN nodes per LAN run is 32, or 8 port
equipment racks. A maximum of eight separate LAN runs from each
AC is available. However, the system architecture only allows for a
total of 254 shelves or LAN nodes for all eight LAN runs. The maximum
LAN run cable length is 600 cable feet. Use low impedance 50.17xx
cable to runs over 300 feet Refer to Table 1.11, and LAN Cables for
Controlling Port and Network Shelf Equipment, page 18-104.
Note: Do not combine cable types in the same LAN run; all cables in a run must
be the same cable type, either all 50.17xx or 50.15xx.
Table 1.11 LAN Cable Types

Maximum
Cable Part No. Color No. of Nodes Maximum Cum. Length
50.17xxx Cable white 32 nodes 600 cable feet
50.15xxx Cable gray 32 nodes 300 cable feet
Note: New installations should be cabled with Part No. 50.17xxx.
9. Each ESM connects by network fiber cable to each type of port shelf.
For shelf types with more than one network fiber cable, the port shelf
cable connectors labeled A, B, C or D must be inserted in consecutive
ESM connectors. Insert network fiber cable A in the starting ESM
connector, cable B in the next consecutive ESM connector, and so on.
Figure 1.19 lists the ESM starting connectors for each type of shelf:
D
Shelf Type Starting ESM Connectors
DS1 Any connector A through D 4

C connectors
Double-density DS1 A and C, but never B or D on rear of
each ESM
DS3 or STS-1E Must start at A
B
OC-3 or OC-12 Any connector A through D

76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-27

10. All ESM fiber cables on a single shelf in a single NC copy must be the
same length between the NC copy and the following types of port
shelves (for example, with DS3 shelf SDF 17, all fiber cables coming
from NC-A must be the same length):
- Double-density DS1
- DS3
- STS-1E
- OC-3
- OC-12
11. The total DCC LAN length from AC-A to the last optical port shelf is
less than 600 cable feet, and no more than 29 shelves can be included
in the daisy chain. There are 30 possible connections, but one
connection is necessary at the AC.

System Engineering Manual 2. Site-specific Material
2. Site-specific Material
2.01 The only materials related to E, F & I that must be ordered from Tellabs are
fiber and LAN cables. Fill out the 5500 SYSTEM FIBER AND LAN CABLE
ORDERING WORKSHEET, page 18-45, and submit it to Tellabs to determine
material needs. If you prefer to determine the material needs without Tellabs
assistance, refer to Section 10, Internal System Cabling, page 18-92, to calculate
the lengths and make jack assignments.
2.02 The procedure for placing a cable order with Tellabs varies by customer.
Place a separate order, an appended order, or an all-inclusive order. The
all-inclusive order ensures that the hardware shipment is complete.
2.03 The detail engineer at the site verifies the cable order. Then the
information is sent to Tellabs for processing. Tellabs Deployment Engineering
Department cannot place orders without the customer’s consent. Lead time for
cable orders could take up to six weeks. Long cables are custom built and may
need a longer lead time.
2.04 All systems require terminations (Tellabs Part No. 50.0235) in all unused
network fiber cable positions on the end stage shelves.
Ordering Fiber and LAN Cable

2.05 The fiber and LAN cables that interconnect the system elements are
custom fitted to the system floor layout. Tellabs provides a “Fiber and LAN Cable
List of Material” and “Wiring List” for the system. The custom software used for
generating these lists, as well as cable labels, also calculates most of the jack
assignment and cable part numbers.
2.06 The cabling distances used as inputs for this software are measured using
the seven foot level. The software is programmed with the distances from these
corners to the appropriate shelf and connector. All right-left references are rear
view which is the same perspective as the person completing the cabling. Refer to
Figure 2.6, page 18-35. The measurements provide the lengths needed for the
following types of cables, listed in Table 2.1:
Table 2.1 Measurements for Types of Cables

Measurement End Points Types of Cable
NC-A to each port rack Network Complex-A fiber cables
NC-B to each port rack Network Complex-B fiber cables
AC-A/B left/right to first port in LAN daisy chain AC-A/B LAN and daisy chain cables through
each set of port shelves within a port rack
Port rack with first daisy chain to next port rack in LAN cables between each port rack

2.07 To effectively manage your site-specific hardware requirements, fill out the
following forms and return to Tellabs Deployment Engineering department (the
FAX number and address appears on at least one of the forms):

2. Site-specific Material System Engineering Manual
• 5500 SYSTEM FIBER AND LAN CABLE ORDERING WORKSHEET,

page 18-38
• Shipping Site Survey, page 18-47
2.08 After receiving these forms, Tellabs determines the Fiber and LAN Cable
List of Materials and the Wiring Lists. Tellabs also provides labels to put on the
cables during system installation.
2.09 If the cable requirements are determined without Tellabs assistance, refer
to Section 10, Internal System Cabling, page 18-92, for necessary information.
Labels or wiring lists are not provided by Tellabs in that case.
2.10 If you are preparing a system to be configured for DCC and/or TCP/IP,
verify your cabling requirements before completing the Fiber and LAN Cable
Ordering Worksheet. Refer to DCC and TCP/IP Cabling (Optional), page 18-112,
and to the TCP/IP and DCC Activation Manual, 76.5500/46, for planning
assistance.
Note: Review these sections before filling in the tables when determining
site-specific material:
Section 4, Rack Mounting and Grounding, page 18-48,
Section 10, Internal System Cabling, page 18-92, and
Section 11, Fiber and LAN Ductwork, page 18-116.
How to Measure Distances

2.11 All distances from the rear corner of one rack to the rear corner of the other
rack are measured in feet. Measurements from the left or right of a rack are
dependent on the cable entry point for that rack. Cables always enter the AC rack
on the rear left. Therefore, when providing a requested distance from the AC rack
to another rack, measure from the left rear corner of the AC rack. Cable entry into
a NC rack is dependent on the size of the system network.
2.12 For overhead cabling all distances are measured in feet from the 7 feet
level of one rack to the 7 feet level of the other rack regardless of rack height. For
subfloor cabling all distances are measured in feet from bottom of one rack to
bottom of next rack.
2.13 When measuring distances, first determine the switch network size for the
system being planned, then complete the section about that system. The next
section Port Equipment Fiber Cable Information, page 18-36, indicates when to
measure from the left or right corner of the NC rack. Measure for either overhead
or for subfloor cabling. Measure from the top corner for overhead and bottom
corner for subfloor cables.
Note: When calculating distances on a 1024-port system, refer to Figure 2.1,

page 18-31 to determine the bay in which each SDF appears. For 2048-
or 3072-port systems, refer to Figures 2.2, page 18-32 through 2.5,
page 18-34. Calculate the distance from the port shelf to the right or left
corner of the rack where the appropriate ESS is located.

Figure 2.6 How to Measure Between Bays to Determine Cable Lengths
76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-35

Example 1: With overhead routing, the distance in feet from the left side of the
administration rack to left side of switch network copy B.
This distance is a total length (in feet) that a cable may run from the top of the 5550
Breaker/Frame Alarm Panel on Rack 1 to the top of the 5550 Breaker/Frame Alarm
Panel on Rack 4. In this case, the distance is 1foot +A+B+C+D+E+1foot. The
distance may vary depending on the distance of the cable rack and the width of the
cable rack, as the cable is laced over it.
Example 2: With subfloor routing, the distance in feet from the left side of Rack 1
to the left side of Rack 4.
Measure the distance from the left side of Rack 1 to the left side of Rack 4. This
distance includes all lengths a cable may run from bottom of Rack 1 to bottom of
Rack 4. In this case, the distance is F+G+H (feet). The distance may vary
depending on the cable routing formation underneath the floor.
Port Equipment Fiber Cable Information

2.15 Fiber cables route from the port shelves to the ESS shelves on the NC.
Follow the guidelines to route fiber cables to terminate on the ESS shelves.
With a rear view of the racks, route fiber cables to the left side of the switch
network with the following systems:
• 128 port systems
• Non-expandable 256 port systems
• Expandable 256 port systems
• SDFs 257 through 768 for 1024 port systems both new or expanded.
With a rear view of the racks, route fiber cables to right side of the switch

3. Critical Shipping Information System Engineering Manual
3. Critical Shipping Information
3.01 Standard terms and conditions for these systems is Freight On Board -
Point of Manufacture (IL). The customer is billed for shipment costs and is
responsible for the system after it leaves the point of manufacture (in Illinois). All
items over 8 feet must be crated and shipped by air-ride semitrailer, which requires
a receiving area to accommodate a 48 feet trailer. Most customers require the
system to be top-supported immediately upon delivery (strapped to an overhead
structure).
3.02 The E, F & I Services organization is responsible for coordinating the
delivery and caring for the system once it leaves the truck. Any special hoisting or
staging must be arranged by the E, F & I Services organization.
3.03 If the system is going to be shipped to a warehouse, inform Tellabs in
advance of the shipment, if the system should be crated. Refer to Table 3.2, for
rigid crate part numbers, and Table 3.3, for cushioned crate part numbers.
3.04 The dimensions of a crated shipment are listed in Table 3.1.

Planning the Floor Layout

4.02 Use the following guidelines to determine spacing for rack base spacers
and associated rack (duct access) spacer panels. Refer to Figure 4.1.
Tellabs recommends 5-inch spacers between racks for the following rack
types:
• Between two DS3, STS1, OC-3, or OC-12 racks.
• Between two 112-port (0550D) DS1 racks that do not use the
wire wrap adapter panels. Refer to paragraph 5.23, page 18-82.
• Between the AC rack and both control NC racks of a 256-port
nonexpandable system.
Tellabs recommends 10-inch spacers between racks for the following

rack types:
• Between two 112-port (0550D) DS1 racks that use the wire wrap
adapter panels.
• Between two 224-port (0550M) Double-density DS1 racks.
• On all sides of the NC racks in a 256-port Expandable, 1024-port,

2048-port or 3072-port system.
• Between the last NC rack and the first DS3, STS1, OC-3, or OC-12
rack.

Marking the Floor Layout 4.03 Mark the location of each rack to be installed using templates. Refer to
Figure 4.2 and Figure 4.4, page 18-52, for rack and anchor layout template
diagrams. Five templates are available; three templates include the spacer size.
The floor template kit, Part No. 80.2404, contains all five rack templates. The five
templates all relate to a 23-inch wide, 12-inch deep rack. The label to the left of
each template is attached to the template within the area shown by the dashed
square.
4.04 Note the following information about the floor layout templates:
• Figure 4.2 and Figure 4.4, page 18-52 show templates for 12-inch
racks only.
• The templates can be used for 2048/3072 SDF switch NC racks, which
require a 15-inch deep rack, if the template is placed at the front base
line. Refer to Figure 4.3, page 18-51.

Raised Floor Environments

4.06 Some systems are installed in a raised floor environment (computer floor).
The raised environment can affect the required lengths of the fiber and LAN cables,
since the cabling is installed in the subfloor. This information is noted in Figure 2.6,
page 18-35.
4.07 If installing a system in a raised floor environment (computer floor) requires
cutting a hole in the computer flooring, the cables must be protected from the sharp
edges of the flooring. This is accomplished by installing Computer Floor Edging.
Table 4.2 Computer Floor Edging
Part No. Description
P/N 78.1455 L-Molding, 4 foot section, black
P/N 78.1456 L-Molding Corner Clips, 25 corner clips and 25 screws, black
4.08 Several types of non-standard installations can be requested. For

example, racks can be mounted on threaded rods or racks can be bolted directly
to the floor panels. A special configuration is available where rack shelves shift up
a foot, allowing the rack to mount directly to the floor, while the shelves remain at
their conventional height. Notify Tellabs Deployment Engineering Department of
requested special configurations. Lead time may be affected by special requests.
Rack Hardware
4.09 Several types of piece part hardware are available to be installed with the
racks and shelves. These hardware components include the following:
• Duct access spacers
• End panel kits
• Rack height extenders

• Rack base extenders
• Wire shield kits (including L-brackets)
• Base spacers
For a quick reference, including basic part number information for duct access
spacer panels, end panel kits, rack height extenders, and wire shield kits, refer to
Table 4.3, page 18-59. For a list of part numbers for base spacer panels, refer to
Table 4.4, page 18-59, and Table 4.5, page 18-60. For detailed part number
information and hardware descriptions, continue into this section.

Duct Access Spacer Panels and Base Spacer Panels

4.10 Since many cables are routed in the space between the racks, allow
adequate space between racks to accommodate all the cables.
4.11 Tellabs recommends 5-inch spacers between racks for the following rack
types:
• Between two DS3, OC-3, or OC-12 racks.
• Between two 112-port (0550D) DS1 racks that do not use the
wire wrap adapter panels (refer to paragraph 5.23, page 18-82).
• Between the AC rack and both control switch network racks of a 256-
port nonexpandable system.
4.12 Tellabs recommends 10-inch spacers between racks for the following
rack types:
• Between two 112-port (0550D) DS1 racks that use the wire wrap
adapter panels.
• Between two 224-port (0550M) Double-density DS1 racks.

• On all sides of the switch network racks in a 256-port Expandable,
1024-port, 2048-port, or 3072-port system.
• Between the last switch network rack and the first DS3, OC-3, or

Wire Shield Assemblies

4.19 Tellabs offers a wire shield to cover exposed cables and match the racks.
Allowing room for expansion causes gaps in the rack lineup that display these
exposed cables. Refer to Table 4.11. Wire shield assemblies are complete with
L-brackets, a wire shield and installation hardware. The kits are listed by the height
of the wire shield. The width of the wire shield in each kit is a standard 6.28 inches.

Rack Height Extenders

4.20 The TITAN system is available in several heights. However, system
equipment is never mounted above the 7 foot level. Standard racks are listed
below. Additional rack heights are available. For part number information, refer to
Dimensions for System Racks, page 18-16, and Tables 1.5, page 18-17 through
1.10, page 18-21. The standard rack heights are as follows:
• 7 feet
• 8 feet
• 8 feet 8 inches
• 9 feet
4.21 Rack height extenders are available to adapt a 7 foot rack to other height
environments. These rack height extenders are not appropriate for use in
earthquake zones. Since the extenders are not stocked items, they typically have
lead times greater than one month. The rack height extenders available from
Tellabs are listed in Table 4.12:

Special EMI Grounding Plates

4.22 Special EMI shielding is available that enables the system to comply with
FCC Part 15 requirements. With this option, systems with EMI shielding previously
had three special grounding plates installed between any two adjacent racks.
The grounding plates no longer need to be installed on new systems or on new
racks in existing systems. Table 4.13 is included below for informational purposes
only.

10.3320-10A Grounding plate, 10inch spaced racks
Top Support
4.23 Top support is required for all types of racks. V-bolts, J-bolts, or 5/8-inch
threaded rods can be used for top support. A sketch of the typical rack used for this
system is in Section 2 of the Installation Manual, 76.5500/7.
76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-69

Floor Anchoring
4.24 Floor anchors for conventional concrete floors are available from Tellabs
in Zone-4 earthquake and shallow embed earthquake varieties. The anchors and
anchor plates are not included with the system, however they can be added to the
order.
• Building codes for Zone 4 and 5 earthquake areas require a 6.4-inch
thick concrete floor. The Earthquake-Bracing Anchor Kit includes four
Hilti HSLB M12/25 anchors and requires the concrete floor to be at
least 6.4 inches deep.
• The shallow embed earthquake Anchor Kit contains two anchors and
two anchor plates.
Note: Floor material supporting the TITAN 5500/S must be noncombustible,

such as concrete or steel.
4.25 Depending on installation standards of the operating company, between

one and four kits per rack are required. Both kits are suitable for concrete flooring.
Refer to Table 4.14 for part numbers.
Table 4.14 Anchor Bolt Kits

Tellabs

Note: Drawings of the two anchor kits are included in Section 2 of the Installation
Manual, 76.5500/7.
Isolated vs. Integrated Grounding

4.26 Isolated and integrated grounding are two different types of grounding that
can be incorporated into a system setup. Tellabs supports either type of
installation.
Integrated Grounding 4.27 Integrated grounding is a set of interconnected equipment frames that is
grounded by making more than one connection to a ground reference. The frames
create a multitude of connections to the ground reference thereby reducing voltage
to acceptable levels.
Isolated Grounding 4.28 Some customers require isolated grounding techniques for the system.
Isolated grounding is a set of interconnected equipment frames that is intentionally
grounded by making only one connection to a given ground reference.
4.29 Isolated grounding kits are available from both Hendry and Saunders.
Review paragraph 4.22, page 18-69, if the system requires isolated grounding and
EMI shielding. In this case, the entire system is grounded together, although it is
isolated from the rest of the office. The frames are isolated from the -48Vdc return.
Page 18-70 9/03 76.5500/18, Rev L4

Connectorized Cabling for DS1

5.07 Connectorized cabling to the TITAN system allows orderly cable routing
and prevents site personnel from working directly on the backplane of the system,
while it is carrying live traffic.
5.08 Right angle connectors must be used with connectorized cabling. Metal
hoods are recommended.
5.09 Tellabs uses three series of DS1 cables: 22-, 24- and 26-AWG cable,
depending on customer request.
22-AWG Cables for DS1

5.10 The 22-AWG series cable, the industry standard, is rated at the full signal
connection distance of 655 feet from the equipment to the DSX (1310 feet if cabled
directly to the other equipment). The cable is somewhat bulky, which can lead to
cable congestion. Refer to Table 5.1 for part numbers.
Table 5.1 DS1 22-AWG Cables (50 pin)

Cable Type Part Number

connectorized cable 50.162XX
bulk cable, no connectors 50.2511-XXXX2
Notes:
1. The XX is the length of cable in tenths of feet. For
example, a cable 80 feet is 50.16208.
2. The XXXX is the length of cable in actual feet. For
example, a cable at 300 feet is 50.2511-0300.
5.11 The full DS1 rack complement (40 cables for single-density shelves and
64 cables for double-density shelves) requires the following number of square
inches of cable rack space, if the cables are run in an orderly manner:
• on a 0550D single-density DS1 shelf about 20 square inches of cable
rack space
• on a 0550M double-density DS1 shelf about 32 square inches of cable

rack space.

5.12 The 5515 Line Interface Module compensates for long or short DS1
cables. This compensation is set in the system software with the ENT/ED-T1-DGR
command and uses one of the following equalization settings, depending on the
cable length. Refer to Table 5.2 for part numbers.

5.14 The 24-AWG cable is smaller in diameter than the 22-AWG cable, but
larger than 26-AWG cable. It reaches 400 feet from the equipment to the DSX (800
feet if cabled directly to the other equipment). Although 24-AWG cable is less
bulky, installers find it to be easier to terminate than 26-AWG cable. Unlike the
26-AWG, the 24-AWG does not have a tendency to break. Refer to Table 5.4 for
part numbers.

reaches 450 feet from the equipment to the DSX (900 feet if cabled directly to the
other equipment). Although the 26-AWG cable is less bulky, installers find it to be
more time-consuming to terminate since the pairs are tightly twisted. Refer to Table

Corner Connectors for DS1

5.23 The corner connectors on the 0550D DS1 shelf are close to the edge of
the rack and are recessed about two inches. A special DS1 cable connector, listed
o
in Table 5.10, with a 40 hood is available from Tellabs for these corner positions.
If a right angle connector is used at this position, the cable will bend into the side
o
of the rack. In addition, a 180 connector in this position is not appropriate because
o
the Lexan backplane cover creates a bend in the cable. A 40 connector will
eliminate excessive bend in the cable.

Using the Wire Wrap Panel for DS1 Cabling

5.24 The DS1 cabling may be wire wrapped directly to the backplane. The
80.0818 wire wrap kit converts the Amphenol-type connectors to wire wrap posts.
These adapter kits, listed in Table 5.11, also include insulating material to keep the
wire wrap posts from shorting to the LIM metal housing. The preferred 80.2164,
80.2365, or 80.2366 wire wrap panels mount on the side of the rack and have short
jack cables that attach to the backplane. The front-removable rack spacers, Part
No. 14.9121 (10inch), allow access to both sides of this post-type wire wrap panel

System Engineering Manual 6. DS3 and STS-1E Cabling
6. DS3 and STS-1E Cabling
6.01 The TITAN System uses the same shelf for DS3 and STS1 interfaces.
There are 16 DS3 or STS-1E circuits per shelf, for a total of 32 connectors. The
DS3 and STS-1E shelves use the same cabling. Refer to the Installation Manual,
76.5500/7, for the cable routing procedure.
DS3 and STS-1E Cable Types

6.02 The TITAN 5500/S system can carry different types of DS3 and STS-1E
cable. Refer to the Installation Manual, 76.5500/7, for a specific listing of possible
cable types. Two commonly used types are the 734 and 735A cables. The 735 type
also comes in multiple cable bundles designated 1735. The other types of cables
are suitable for use with the system at the customer’s discretion. Both types of
cables can be used in either the DS3 or the STS-1E shelves.
734A Cables for DS3 and STS-1E

6.03 The 734A cables are described as follows:
• The 734A cable is rated for the maximum specified DS3 cable length
of 450 feet, before signal must be regenerated. Refer to Figure 6.1,
page 18-84.
• A 5518 T3/EC1 Line Interface Module (LIM) has two BNC connectors
to terminate the DS3 or STS1 cables, input (top) and output (bottom).
The LIM also is provided with a switch on its front panel for equalizing
the cable running to the equipment that regenerates the signal
(switches, multiplexers, digital cross-connects, etc.). Refer to the
Installation Manual, 76.5500/7, for instructions to set the LIM switch.
• The full DS3 or STS1 rack complement of 128 cables takes up

approximately 20 square inches of cable rack space.
• A right angle connector is required to terminate the 734A cable on the
LIM.
Note: DSX panels do not regenerate the signal. When calculating cable length,
take into consideration all the cable that is required to reach the equipment
that regenerates the signal.

735 DS3 and STS-1E Cables or 1735 Cables in Multiple Bundles

6.05 These cables are described below:
• The 735 cable (refer to Figure 6.2, page 18-86) has a smaller diameter
and is useful in congested areas.
• The cable is rated for a maximum length of 220 feet to the DSX panel.
• A 5518 T3/EC1 Line Interface Module (LIM) has two BNC connectors
to terminate the DS3 or STS1 cables, input (top) and output (bottom).
The LIM also is provided with a switch on its front panel for equalizing
the cable running to the equipment that regenerates the signal
(switches, multiplexers, digital cross-connects, etc.). Refer to the
Installation Manual, 76.5500/7, for instructions to set the LIM switch.
• The full DS3 or STS1 rack complement of 128 cables requires

approximately 10 square inches of cable rack space.
• This type of cable also requires a right angle connector on the rear of
the backplane. The smaller wire gauge causes the cable to be more
difficult to strip and crimp reliably than higher wire gauge cables.
Note: DSX panels do not regenerate the signal. When calculating cable length,
take into consideration all the cable that is required to reach the equipment
that regenerates the signal.
6.06 Refer to Table 6.2 for 735 cables and connectors.

AC Wiring 9.02 Do not run the electrical wiring for AC power straight through the base of
the racks for the whole lineup. Depending on the future configuration of the site,
many customers buy expandable NCs, which leaves an open area in the lineup.
AC power runs to the common equipment usually have to be dropped from
overhead or run up through the subfloor. Do not run conduit for AC outlets through
the open areas between racks in the lineup, because racks cannot be installed over
the conduit.

10.02 Payload traffic between port equipment shelves and the NCs is carried
over network fiber cables. The logical numbering of the payload traffic is done in
terms of SDFs. One SDF is roughly equivalent to the bandwidth of one DS3, plus
overhead. The SDF traffic, carried at 62.208Mbps, travels by fiber cables, which
terminate one end at the end stage shelf and the other end at a port equipment
shelf.
• One End Switch Stage shelf handles a total of 256 SDFs. Each fiber
cable handles four SDFs, both transmit and receive.
• One DS1 shelf handles four SDFs, so it requires one cable for each
network complex and only one connector position at the end stage
shelf.
• One Double-density DS1 shelf handles eight SDFs, requiring two

cables for each network complex and two connector positions at the
end stage shelf.
• One OC-3 or OC-12 shelf handles 12 SDFs, requiring three cables for
each network complex and three connector positions at the end stage
shelf.
• One DS3 or STS-1E shelf handles 16 SDFs, so it requires four cables

per network complex and a set of four connectors for the end stage
shelf.

LAN Cabling
10.08 LAN cables connect both administrative complexes to all port equipment
shelves and the control center stage shelf of each network complex. They run in a
daisy-chain formation through the port equipment shelves. The maximum number
of port equipment shelves per LAN run is 32. Refer to Ordering Fiber and LAN
Cable, page 18-29, for jack numbers at the administrative complexes.
10.09 Three types of LAN cables exist as follows:
Topic Page
LAN cables that control port and network shelf LAN Cables for Controlling Port and
equipment through the PGCs and NGCs Network Shelf Equipment, page 18-104
SYNC timing cables that provide timing links SYNC Timing Cables, page 18-105
NTDM-to-NTDM cables that connect the NTDMs NTDM Cross-timing Cables,
located on each control switch network complex shelf page 18-110
Warning:
Always wear a static protection wriststrap while performing any procedures that
require you to come in contact with the system. This includes touching modules,
cabling, or the system in any way. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage
system components resulting in a traffic-affecting condition. Ensure that
modules are stored in static preventive material.
LAN Cables for Controlling Port and Network Shelf Equipment

10.10 The LAN cables that connect the administrative complexes to port
equipment shelves come in two varieties, as follows:
• The gray cable, Part No. 50.15xxx, is available in lengths from 3 to 300
feet. The xxx relates to the length in feet.
• The white low-loss cable, Part No. 50.17xxx, is available in lengths

from 3 to 600 feet. The xxx relates to the length in feet.
Note: The white cable, Part No. 50.17xxx, is used with new LAN runs. Existing
LAN runs with gray cable, Part No. 50.15xxx, must be continued with gray
cable, as long as the run does not exceed 300 feet.
10.11 The 50.17xxx and 50.15xxx cable types cannot be mixed (impedance
mismatch causes reflections). All LAN cables on a LAN run must be the same.
Note the following guidelines:
• Do not mix the white and gray cables within a LAN run.
• Use the same type of cables for both LAN A and LAN B within a LAN
run.
• Network LAN runs (J41 & J42) must be the same cable type as LAN
run #1 (J27 & J29)
Page 18-104 9/03 76.5500/18, Rev L4

10.12 The LAN cables between port equipment shelves within the same rack are
4 feet long, either Tellabs Part No. 50.15004 or 50.17004.
Note: Refer to Table 10.1, page 18-94, for jack assignments.
Routing LAN Cables 10.13 Route cables from the administrative complexes into the first (bottom)
shelf of the first port equipment rack. The system requires a cable from each
administrative complex to each side of the first port shelf, for a total of four cables.
Four jumper cables are required to route by daisy-chain to the next port shelf.
Terminating LAN Cables 10.14 The LAN must be terminated at the end of each LAN run. The system is
shipped with terminations on all LAN jacks on the administrative complex
backplane. Leave the termination plugs in the LAN origination jacks that are not
being used.
SYNC Timing Cables

10.15 The following items are required to allow the system to be synchronized to
an external timing reference.
10.16 Timing information is transferred through four SYNC timing cables from
the Synchronous Interface Module (SIM) to the Network Timing Distribution
Module (NTDM) located in each NC copy A and B. To prevent timing skew, all four
SYNC cables must be the same length. For 128-, 256-, and 1024-port systems,
various length timing cables are available with a maximum length of 50 feet. For
2048- or 3072-port systems, all SYNC cables must be 100 feet in length.
Note: For 1024 systems and larger, connect the SYNC cable to only the control
center stage shelf (CSS 1) for each network copy, where the NTDM is
located.
SYNC Cable Lengths 10.17 For systems with 256 and 1024 ports, these SYNC cables are available in
8-foot, 10-foot, 20-foot, 30-foot, 40-foot, and 50-foot lengths. All four SYNC cables
must be the same length to prevent timing skew. For systems with 2048 ports or
more, all cables are 100-feet long. Figure 10.2, page 18-106, and Figure 10.3,
page 18-107, show the SYNC cable routing for both the 0550B CSS shelf and
0550G CSS shelf.
Note: All SYNC timing cables must be the same length. Part numbers will be
different due to specific routing as reflected on the labels for each cable.

DCC and TCP/IP Cabling (Optional)

10.24 The optional Data Communication Channel (DCC) feature allows remote
access to the system by using TCP/IP and/or DCC communication. Beginning with
FP6.1, the distributed routing feature is available which allows configuration
options for signals to travel through the equipment. In addition, the TITAN 5500/S
system has enhanced capability to communicate with other nodes and between
areas containing several nodes.
10.25 This section describes the planning requirements for the DCC and/or
TCP/IP features. For complete information about setting up the DCC feature on a
new system, refer to the TCP/IP and DCC Activation Manual, 76.5500/46.
10.26 The total DCC LAN length from AC-A to the last optical port shelf must be
less than 600 cable feet (even if an external router is used), and no more than 29
shelves may be included in the daisy chain. Total cable length must agree with the
figure recorded in the Detailed Engineering Package. Refer to Figure 10.6,
page 18-115, for an example of DCC cabling using two 5530D CIPs.
10.27 The DCC feature is designed to use either 10BASE-T or 10BASE2
(thinnet) wire; however, 10BASE5 (thicknet) wire can also be used.
Warning:
Note 1: The 10BASE-T wire is an implementation of the Ethernet IEEE standard

on 24-gauge unshielded twisted-pair wiring, a baseband medium at
10Mbps.
Note 2: If 10BASE5 wire is used, an AUI cable must be provided to connect the
CIP to the Media Attachment Unit (MAU).
Note 3: Beginning with FP7.0, the 5501C System Processor Module (SPM) is
required for use in the Administrative Processor Module (APM) slot (#4)
of the 550A Administrative Complex (AC) shelf. Also, either the 5501B
SPM or 5501C SPM can be used in the Communications Processor
Module (CPM) slot (#3) of the 550A AC shelf. For systems running
FP6.1, the 5501C SPM can be used in either APM or CPM slots.
However, for systems running FP 6.0, the 5501C SPM is not supported
in either the APM or CPM slot.
10.28 The Communication Interface Panel (CIP), 80.5530D, requires two

5501B/C System Processor Modules (SPM) on the AC shelves. The modules are
installed in the Communication Processor Module (CPM) slots (slot 3) of each AC
shelf: one in the upper AC shelf (AC-B) and one in the lower shelf (AC-A).
Page 18-112 9/03 76.5500/18, Rev L4

10.29 Before beginning the protocol activation, the customer should decide
which configuration option to choose. Refer to the TCP/IP and DCC Activation
Manual, 76.5500/46, to selection one of the available options. If using an external
router, refer to the router vendor instructions for necessary hardware to connect to
the TITAN 5500/S system.
Hardware Requirements
10.30 Before starting this procedure, verify that the following items are available:
__ one voltmeter for testing voltage
__ one media converter per LAN, as necessary, to convert a 10BASE2

connection to 10BASE-T on an external router
__ two 5501B/C System Processor Modules (SPMs, acting as CPMs),

one for each of the two ACs
__ two 5530D CIP kits are required per Administrative Rack. Customers
may purchase the Communication Interface Panel Kit, 81.5530D,
which contains the following items:
__ one 80.5530D CIP
__ one cable, Part No. 80.2401, and the associated mounting

hardware
__ two 4-foot, coax extension cables, Part No. 50.2274
__ two administrative shelf bracket, Part No. 10.5199.
10.31 Verify that all the items listed under either TCP/IP or DCC are available.
For TCP/IP and/or OSI 10.32 TCP/IP and/or OSI administration of the TITAN requires certain hardware
parts. This hardware is also used to connect the SPM (CPM) to the CO LAN and
allow the TITAN to perform GNE operations. For example, the hardware is
necessary for a connection with an external router. The required items are listed as
follows:
__ two 10BASE-T Ethernet transceivers, Part No. 78.1376, or two
10BASE2 Ethernet transceivers, Part No. 78.1375, needed for
CO LAN connections
__ two AUI cables, if using 10BASE5 wire
__ two RJ-45 cables, if using 10BASE-T wire
__ two coax cables, if using 10BASE2 wire

11. Fiber and LAN Ductwork System Engineering Manual
11. Fiber and LAN Ductwork
11.01 Fiber and LAN cables are usually routed in a protective duct over the
system. Due to the number of fiber cables that is required on larger systems,
Tellabs recommends a dedicated panned cable rack for running fiber and LAN
cables. The fiber and LAN cables used with the system are rugged hard-clad,
silica-type cables that do not necessarily require the level of protection that fiber
duct provides. However, Tellabs recommends segregating interbay fiber cables
from other office signal cables.
Internal Fiber Duct Spacing 11.02 If fiber ducts are required, approximately 1.4 square inches of fiber duct
space for each DS1 rack and 6 square inches for each DS3 or STS-1E rack is
needed.
Note: If fiber ducts are not used, take care not to create kinks in the fiber cables,
which can cause broken fibers inside the cable.
11.03 LAN cables may be routed with other metallic cables. Tellabs approves of
running the LAN cables with the fibers, either in the duct or on the dedicated cable
rack, to keep all fiber and LAN cabling together. This organization adds an
additional 0.7 square inches of duct or rack space. Since the LAN cables daisy
chain between port shelves, the space required in the duct does not increase with
each port shelf.
Taking Up Slack in Fiber and 11.04 Some slack usually occurs when running the fiber and LAN cables. If using
LAN Cables fiber cable ducts, do not crimp the fibers while taking up slack in the cable run.
Crimping fibers may cause internal breakage. For example, do not run the cable
coiled in the fiber duct or attach the cabling near the back of the system. Instead,
run the cabling in one continuous loop around itself, within a straight run of fiber
duct, above the port equipment.
Protecting OC-3 or OC-12 11.05 Facility fiber cables to OC-3 and OC-12 port interfaces require a high
Fiber Optic Cables degree of protection. Tellabs requires that all facility fiber cables for OC-3 and
OC-12 ports be enclosed in fiber duct. A detailed drawing of the duct required to
house facility fiber cables as they enter an OC-3 or OC-12 rack can be found in the
Installation Manual, 76.5500/7.

System Engineering Manual 12. Administrative Interfaces
12. Administrative Interfaces
12.01 The system supports eight RS-232-C DCE administrative access ports
(four per 5501C System Processor Module functioning as an Administrative
Processor Module). There are two types: asynchronous and synchronous. The link
connections are located on the rear of each of the two AC shelves, at
asynchronous jacks J10, J11, J12 and synchronous jack J13. Users who access
the system using a terminal can display information about the links using the
RTRV-LINK command. The link connections on AC-A correspond to links
numbered 1 through 4 and those on AC-B correspond to links 5 through 8. They
may be used for bit rates from 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 57.6
kbs. Refer to Table 12.1.
Table 12.1 Administrative Links

Jack Link Number Max. Bit
Admin Number (RTRV-LINK) Link Type Rate
J10 1 asynchronous 57.6 kbs
AC-A J11 2 asynchronous 57.6 kbs
J13 4 synchronous, X.25 57.6 kbs
AC-B J11 6 asynchronous 57.6 kbs
J13 8 synchronous, X.25 57.6 kbs
Note: Beginning with FP7.0, the 5501C System Processor Module (SPM) is
required for use in the Administrative Processor Module (APM) slot (#4) of
the 550A Administrative Complex (AC) shelf. Also, either the 5501B SPM
or 5501C SPM can be used in the Communications Processor Module
(CPM) slot (#3) of the 550A AC shelf. For systems running FP6.1, the
5501C SPM can be used in either APM or CPM slots. However, for
systems running FP 6.0, the 5501C SPM is not supported in either the
APM or CPM slot.
Links 1 and 5 12.02 The asynchronous links are configured for RS-232-C. Links 2, 3, 6 and 7
provide automatic logout when users disconnect the serial cable. Links 1 and 5
were intended for use with a local terminal where the user logs out of each session.
Links 1 and 5 do not provide automatic logout when the serial cable is removed.
This is because they do not use pin 20 for DTR (“terminal ready”) interface control.
Refer to the pinouts in Figure 12.1, page 18-118. It is not necessary to terminate
links 1 and 5. Users need to log out of each session. Using links 1 or 5 for modem
connectivity requires special configuration of both the modem and the link.
76.5500/18, Rev L4 9/03 Page 18-117

12. Administrative Interfaces System Engineering Manual
Synchronous Links 12.03 The remaining two ports are synchronous and support transmission rates
of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 57.6 kbs. The synchronous ports are
configured for RS-232-C. Additionally, the RS-449 standard (RS-422 electrical)
can be supported on all ports via a cable adapter.
Note: Synchronous protocols require straps on the SPM functioning as an APM

must be configured for clock input or clock output. Refer to module
practice, 76.815501C System Processor Module for more information
about the straps.
Ethernet LAN Interface for 12.04 The system provides a 10Mbps IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet LAN
TCP/IP and DCC interface with the release of Feature Package 4.1 and later.
Communication
12.05 All OSS administrative functions are performed via the TL1 language over
a X.25 stack or an RS-232-C asynchronous stack. With the release of FP5.0, the
system supports TL1 over the seven-layer OSI stack. Each of the X.25 links
support up to eight switched or permanent virtual circuits in any combination for a
total of 16 virtual circuits per system. Additionally, Tellabs has successfully
conducted long-term tests between Telcordia’s NMA and the system over the
Accunet packet service network.
12.06 Administrative ports may be used for local and/or remote connections to
an asynchronous ASCII terminal, hard-copy printer, or Operations Support System
(OSS). Remote access may be gained either through a dedicated data facility or
on a dial-up basis via the system’s optional integral modems (integral modems are
not available with the 5500S system).
12.07 Figure 12.1, shows the pin-outs for the four female 25-pin D-subminiature
connectors available on each administrative shelf.
Note: A male 25-pin connector is required to access a control link. The control
links are DCE type.
