This appendix specifies pinouts only for the pins used. Pins not listed in the tables are not connected.
Note
Coaxial Cables
The coaxial cable used to connect the Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband routers at the headend
should be very high-quality cable.
We recommend that you use a headend-grade coaxial cable or a quad-shield coaxial cable to connect the
cable modem cards to the hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network. The center conductor must be straight
and extend 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) beyond the end of the connector, and the connector should be securely
crimped to the cable. The following headend cables are recommended:
•
•
•
Any of the three of the coaxial cables listed can be used to connect a Cisco cable interface card to the
Note
HFC network; however, the consistent use of 59-series cable is preferred. If you connect a 59-series
cable to a cable interface card that was previously connected using 6-series cable, the difference in the
center connector diameter might cause intermittent connectivity loss.
