10/100Base-T MCC/SCC Cabinet Backplane Upgrade
When you need to upgrade your Legacy Definity MCC or SCC cabinets to achieve
100MB Full connectivity for LAN enabled TN boards, you will need a kit from
Avaya. This kit contains an instruction sheet, small label for the front to be
placed just below the slot on the front of the cabinet/carrier (this identifies
a slot that has been upgraded), and the new Tight Twisted pair IO cable that is
CAT5 rated that goes from the actual backplane of the carrier to the amphenol
support frame.
The Comcode for the whole kit is 700234032. That includes the Tight Twisted IO
Cable, Instruction Sheet and the little '10/100' sticker that goes on the front
of the TN board slot of the MCC/SCC cabinet.
For just the little label, because it will drop out of the bag unnoticed and
you'll lose it if you're not careful is Comcode 700234024.
Can you replace it hot? I've done it hot, but it is safer to do it when the
carrier/cabinet is down. Its those darn round ferrites that get in the way of
making it an easy job. I wouldn't do it in the E carrier of an MCC hot for sure.
You wouldn't want to touch anything in the 'power' area while swapping the Tight
Twisted IO Cables. You might get a shock. Not that I've ever, ever had that
happen to me.
Just read the instruction sheet and get the colors right. Have a small
flashlight so you can see too. To unclip the old red/white IO cable amphenol
end, you'll use your index fingers and push down and up on small clips on the
top and bottom of the amphenol connector.
When putting on the new IO cable, put each backplane side on separately. If
you're working on the left side of the cabinet, put that side of the IO cable on
first. The right of the cabinet....do the right side first. Doing this allows
you to see the installation of both halves of the backplane connector.
You will also need the ip media processor adapter to get 100mbps, otherwise you
can use a 259a and get 10mbps. Its a black adapter...comcode 848525887.
A great teacher, does not provide answers, but methods to teach others "How and where to find the answers"

Sorry PBXjr
You are correct, I was trying to paste this, which has your link at the bottom. Obviously not paying attention.
Carrier backplane CAT3 wiring vs CAT5 wiring
6-20-2005
An issue has recently (6-2005) been brought up concerning the need for 100 Mbps
Definity circuit pack connectivity via the backplane amphenol connectors to
certain boards.
Until sometime in year 2003, cabinets (MCC, SCC, G600, DEFONE, etc) were
shipped with Category-3 WP-90753,L1 (comcode 846 273 100) cables. The WP cables
may be white, gray, white and red or possibly even multicolored however when
examined closely, will not exhibit tightly twisted pairs of wires.
If 100 MBPS service is required from slots equipped with these 'older' type
connectors, they must be replaced with 'Tight Twisted Pair I/O Cables'
(comcode 700181118).

Carrier's manufactured (beginning) 2004 time-frame, will likely already have
CAT5 connectors installed on every port board slot.
If replacement of the Category 3 (CAT3) type with Category 5 (CAT5) is
necessary, it is typically done with the carrier powered down. The instructions
(below) state this.
When installed correctly, the top connector (holes or jacks) of each column have
no wires running back to the amphenol and the outer most right and left, 2nd row
down will have a wires colored v-br (left) and o-bk (right).
The instructions are orderable using comcode 700 234 016. A label is supplied
with the new connector stating "10/100 Mbps" and should be placed on the front
of the cabinet, just over the slot where the twisted pair cable was equipped.
Prologics Compact Modular Cabinets (CMC), csi cabinets have connectors (CUU1 or
CUU2) that have (due their planar magnetics design) the ability to pass 100 Mbps
signals. No replacement of either type is necessary.
