• Belden 9913 – max distance 300m

 IDU-ODU cable connection

Never disconnect or reconnect an ODU cable to a RAC

without first turning the power off to the INU or
withdrawing the RAC from the backplane.
Note: The ODU cable provides the power feed to the ODU.
Arcing during connection and disconnection at the RAC
on a live RAC can cause damage to connector contact
surfaces. Power spikes caused by live connection and
disconnection may also cause errors on other traffic
passing through the INU/INUe. The only exception to
live disconnection and connection should be for checks
of protected operation at link commissioning.
