Connecting a Cable for the E4G-B16T1E1 Module

The ports on the E4G-B16T1E1 module are implemented as MRJ21 connectors.

Each connector represents eight ports. Two cable types are available for these ports:

• MRJ21-to-RJ-45 fan-out cable (Extreme Networks part number 16220; see the figure below)
• MRJ21-to-MRJ21 cable

Caution

When you handle the RJ21 cable for the E4G-B16T1E1 module, be careful not to bend the cable too sharply, especially at the connector. Make sure the cable extends at least 3 inches (8 cm) from the back panel of the module before it starts to bend.

MRJ21-to-RJ-48 Fan-out Cable

To connect the cable, follow these steps:

1. Align the cable connector with the port connector and firmly press the cable connector into place.
2. Use a small straight-tip screwdriver to align and tighten the retaining screw at each end of the cable connector.
   See the following figure.

   Note

   Although shielded cables are used in most central office applications, Extreme Networks E4G routers do not require shielded cables to comply with emissions and immunity requirements.
