Feature Overview
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card is a 20 by 16 inch card designed specifically for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. This card transmits and receives RF signals between the subscriber and the headend over hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) system.
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V line cards have five downstream (DS) ports and twenty upstream (US) ports. The line card supports five cable MAC domains (cable interfaces), and the 20 DS and 20 US channels are dynamically associated with any of these five MAC domains. The card has twenty US spigots and five DS spigots. Each of the US spigots supports either two-frequency stacked US channels across ten ports or a single US channel across twenty ports. Each of the DS spigots supports four-frequency stacked channels across five ports.
Upstream data, from the subscriber, comes through the upstream ports (US0-US19) on the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. The line card processes and configures the data and sends it across the backplane to the WAN/backhaul card and out to the Internet.
Downstream data, to the subscriber, comes from the Internet through the WAN/backhaul card, and across the backplane to the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V card processes and configures the data and sends it out through the appropriate rf-channel on a downstream port (DS0-DS4) to be combined with the rest of the downstream signals in the headend.
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card supports both DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS cable modem networks. The card supports downstream channels in the 55 to 999 MHz range, and upstream channels in the 5 to 65 MHz range. The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card supports Annex A and Annex B radio frequency (RF) data rates, channel widths, and modulation schemes and has DOCSIS MAC management and spectrum management capabilities. DOCSIS-3.0, A-TDMA, S-CDMA, downstream bonding, and upstream bonding rates are supported.
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card has high line card CPU speed, memory, and flash memory allowing support of Voice over IP (VoIP) at much higher call loads and a higher percentage of modems running advanced DOCSIS features that typically consume line card CPU resources.
Note You must ensure that two DOCSIS Timing, Communication and Control (DTCC) cards are configured on the Cisco uBR10012 router before installing the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card.
Figure 1 shows the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card faceplate with Configured as UBR-MC20X20V-20D bar code label printed on it to indicate that the software license installed on the card supports 20 DS channels. The product ID (PID) of this card is UBR-MC20X20V-20D.

Benefits
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card provides the following benefits:
•Expanded capacity of the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, providing the highest port density available in Cisco cable interface line cards.
•Additional flexibility for cable operators in partitioning the cable plant to address growing subscriber bandwidth demands; enables cost-effective scalability of services and subscribers.
•Online insertion and removal (OIR), allowing key system components to be added or removed without powering off the chassis.
•Hardware-based support for DOCSIS 2.0 (apart from DOCSIS 1.x features) and DOCSIS 3.0 features such as S-CDMA, Multiple Logical Channels, Upstream Channel Bonding, Per Service flow DS ID, and other DOCSIS 3.0 downstream features.
Onboard Failure Logging
The On-Board Failure Logging (OBFL) feature enables storage and collection of critical failure information in the nonvolatile memory of a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), like a Route Processor (RP) or line card. The Cisco uBR10000 series universal broadband router supports OBFL on PRE4, the Cisco SIP-600 jacket card, Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card and the Cisco UBR-MC5X20H cable interface line card.
The OBFL stored data assists in understanding and debugging field failures upon Return Material Authorization (RMA) of a RP or line card at repair and failure analysis sites.
OBFL records operating temperatures, voltages, hardware uptime, and any other important events that assist board diagnosis in case of hardware failures.
For more information on the feature, see the Onboard Failure Logging feature guide located at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sx/12_2sxh/feature/guide/sxhobfl.html#wp1053048
Note The output from the CMTS router may vary slightly compared to the output samples shown in the URL mentioned above.
Logging details for OBFL
The logging details for the OBFL feature are described below:
•OBFL is enabled by default. You need to enable the feature if it is disabled previously.
•On the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card logging begins after the system starts up.
•OBFL samples the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card temperature and voltage sensors every five minutes.
•Voltage data is stored only when it is different from the last stored record.
•The maximum logging time is two hours, hence, a new record is stored every two hours, regardless of data variation.
•Fatal hardware events are logged with OBFL.
•Logs are organized as current (continuous) and historical (summarized) data records.
•OBFL logging has no impact on performance.
Storing OBFL Data
OBFL logs are recorded on the bootflash device of the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. The logs are maintained in a separate 2MB partition, distinct from the Bootflash filesystem partition where the crash dumps are stored. OBFL log files are not accessible to the operator and their contents can be viewed only by using the OBFL CLI commands.
Displaying OBFL Data
The show logging onboard command displays the logs from the OBFL data.
For information on OBFL commands, see the "Configuration Tasks" chapter in the Onboard Failure Logging feature guide located at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/12sobfl.html#wp1025118
Software Licensing
The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card supports software licensing for the DS functionality. A bar code label on the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card faceplate indicates the type of license configured on it (see Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3).
Table 2 describes the license information. The four license LEDs on the line card faceplate indicate the license status (see Figure 1).

Safety Information and Warnings
Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power.
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The AC input power shelf and its AC power modules contain a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use an anti-static strap each time you handle the modules.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or rack-mount. Make sure that the chassis and/or rack has a grounding cable installed. (For more information, see the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide.)
•Handle components by the carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or any connector pins.
•When removing a module, place it on an anti-static surface or in a static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Installing or Replacing a Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card
Use the following procedure to install a Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card in the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router chassis.
Note The following instructions describe the connection and removal process for the customized RF cables and the maintenance of the Cisco preconfigured cable bundles.
Note If you are returning a card to the factory, after removing the card from the chassis, immediately place it into an antistatic shielding bag.
Caution
For proper cooling and airflow, always install a blank cover on any empty slot in the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router chassis. Blank covers are available for all Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router modules. For information about specific modules, see the
"Related Documentation" section.
Tools and Equipment
To remove and replace an individual Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card, you need the following tools and equipment:
•Replacement Cisco UBR-MC20X20V card: UBR10-MC20X20V=
Blank uBR10012 card (if required): UBR10-MC-COVER=
•1/4-inch flathead screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
•Antistatic surface, such as a mat or antistatic bag
Unpacking the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card
To unpack the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card, complete the following steps:

Make sure you are properly grounded with an ESD-preventative ground strap.
Step 1 Remove the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card from the box.
Step 2 Place the card on an antistatic surface.
Step 3 Remove the protective sticker covering the DS ports.
Step 4 Review the installation information for the card.
Note For Class B emission compliance, a ferrite needs to be installed on each of the input DC power harness when Cisco UBR-MC20X20V line cards are installed in the Cisco uBR10K chassis. This is mandatory only when the DC PEMs are used and is not needed when the AC power supply is used.
Only one ferrite is needed per power harness. There will be two ferrites in the Cisco uBR10K accessory kit. When the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V line card is shipped as a spare, two ferrites will be included in the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V accessory kit.
Removing UCH2 from the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card
Note The UCH2 should be used with the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. For more information, see the "Installing or Replacing Cables in UCH2" section.
Caution
Make sure you are properly grounded with an ESD-preventative ground strap.
Step 1 Carefully move the cables away from the front of the card so that you can easily reach the leadscrew on the UCH2.
Step 2 Use the flathead screwdriver to loosen the leadscrew on the UCH2. Turn the leadscrew counterclockwise. (See Figure 12.)
Step 3 Unscrew the leadscrew until it is completely out of the faceplate on the line card.
Figure 12 Unscrewing the UCH2
Step 4 Use the leadscrew to pull the UCH2 and cables straight away from the card. (See Figure 13.)
Caution
Do not use the cables to pull the holder from the faceplate. Be careful not to bend the cables at right angles to the holder.
Figure 13 Removing the UCH2 from the Line Card
Step 5 Move the cables and the UCH2 away from the front of the line card.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the other UCH2s.
Removing the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card from the Card Slot
Step 1 Unscrew the captive screws on the front of the cable interface card.
Step 2 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from the cable interface line card to disengage the card from the backplane. (See Figure 14.)
Figure 14 Unscrewing the Captive Screws and Opening the Ejector Levels
Figure 15 Removing the Cable Interface Line Card from the Chassis
Caution
Always handle the card by the carrier edges because the upconverter on the bottom side of the line card may be hot to the touch. Dropping the card can damage the carrier rails and card guides, making it difficult to reinstall.
Step 3 Slide the card out from the chassis and place it on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag with the component side up.
Step 4 If you are installing a new or replacement card, see the "Installing the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card in the Card Slot" section. Otherwise, install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws.
Caution
For proper cooling and airflow, always install a blank card cover in unused line card slots.
Installing the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card in the Card Slot
Caution
Make sure your ESD wrist strap is properly attached to a chassis ground location.
Step 1 Carefully align the top and bottom edges of the card with the guides in the chassis.
Caution
This Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card weighs 16 lbs. Use both hands when handling the card. Do not drop the card or otherwise damage the carrier rails. Bent or damaged rails can damage the card guides and prevent line card installation. When installing cards for the first time, or when all the captive screws of the card are loose, insert cards first in slot 5/1 and work towards slot 8/0 to prevent uneven gasket pressure.
Step 2 Slide the card into the slot. (See Figure 16.)
Figure 16 Inserting the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card
Figure 17 Closing the Ejector Levers
Step 3 Simultaneously close the ejector levers to secure the card in the backplane. (See Figure 17.)
Step 4 Engage and begin tightening the captive screws first by hand. Then, use either a T-10 Torx (included in the line card accessory kit) or a common flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws between 5 to 7 in-lbs.
Caution
Always tighten the captive screws on each line card, but not more than the maximum of 7 in-lbs. These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
Note When fully inserted, the line card cycles through its power-on self-test, and the POWER and STATUS LEDs turn on. (If either of those LEDs is flashing, see the "Troubleshooting the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card Installation" section).
Installing UCH2 on the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card
Caution
The UCH2 must be used for
all cable connections to the line card. Failure to use a UCH2 may cause permanent damage to the line card connectors, resulting in low or no RF output in the downstream or low or no RF input in the upstream.
To install UCH2, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Position UCH2 so the red line is on the same side as the red triangle on the card.
Step 2 Align the end pins on UCH2 with the pin holes in the faceplate. (See Figure 18.)
Caution
When you are replacing the UCH2, be careful not to bend the cables in the holder at right angles.
Step 3 While holding the UCH2 and cables in place on the faceplate, use your fingers to tighten the leadscrew. If the UCH2 and cables do not appear to settle securely in place on the faceplate, wiggle the holder to resettle the connectors. (See Figure 19.)
Step 4 Use the flathead screwdriver to tighten the leadscrew. Turn the leadscrew clockwise until it will no longer turn (10 in-lbs, maximum torque 15 in-lbs).
Caution
Torquing the leadscrew to more than the maximum of 20 in-lbs can cause the leadscrew to fail.
Note As you turn the leadscrew clockwise, the outer shroud on the UCH2 moves to cover the red line on the top and the black line on the bottom of the UCH2. The half circles on the edge of the shroud appear to close as the shroud fits down over the UCH2. Full engagement is indicated by visible metal-to-metal contact between the UCH2 and the faceplate (check the half circle cutouts).
Figure 18 Aligning the UCH2 with the Cable Interface Card Dense Connector Ports
Figure 19 Installing the UCH2 on the Faceplate
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the other two UCH2s.
Step 6 Configure the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card if required as described in Configuring the UBR-MC20X20V Cable Interface Line Card.
Note It is not necessary to configure the cable interface line card if you are installing a replacement card in the identical slot. After the reset cycle, the software detects all modules on each line card and generates the proper data structure for them.
Installing or Replacing Cables in UCH2
The UCH2 is designed to stabilize the cables and hold them in place.
Tools and Equipment
The tools listed below are designed to help you remove and install cables in the UCH2.
•T-10 TORX driver tool—Removes the cable clamp bar.
•Cable heat-shrink wrap—Adds strength to the dual-shielded cables and connector connection.
Note Do not use heat-shrink wrap on MC20X20V quad-shielded cables.
•Cables—75-ohm precision miniature video cable, MC20X20V dual-shielded or quad-shielded bonded foil 1855 type.
Removing Cables
To remove the old cables, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Use the T-10 TORX driver tool to loosen the UCH2 lock bar on the side from which you want to remove a cable. (See Figure 20.)
Step 2 Slide open the lock bar by hand, or with a flathead screwdriver if the bar is tight or hard to access. (See Figure 21.)
Figure 20 Using the T-10 TORX Driver Tool to Loosen the UCH2 Lock Bar
Figure 21 Using a Screwdriver to Slide Open the Lock Bar on the UCH2
Step 3 Carefully pull the cable completely out of the UCH2.
Caution
Be careful not to bend the cables at right angles.
Note If the cable does not come loose from the UCH2, make sure the lock bar is completely open.
Step 4 Repeat for each cable you are removing.
Installing Cables
Cisco cables are color-coded for easy reference and installation. The cable color corresponds to a specific port on the card. The tables include a column for users to define ports and color definitions.
Table 13 lists the cable ports and associated cable color applicable when using MC20X20V dual-shielded cables or quad-shielded cabling.
Note Precision miniature video coaxial cables come in various colors, and you can use any cable color combination.

Figure 23 Removing an ESD Cap from an F connector
Figure 24 Placing Cables in the UCH2
Step 4 Insert and wiggle the connector into the hole.
Note The cables fit loosely in the holes, and are not locked into place until the lock bar is closed in Step 6.
Step 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for the remaining cables you are installing.
Note Make sure the cables are aligned correctly and inserted completely or the slide bar will not close.
Step 6 Slide the lock bar close completely, and use the T-10 TORX driver tool to tighten the screws clockwise (torque 10 in-lbs, 1.13 Newton meters (Nm)).
Note Clamp bar maximum torque 15 in-lbs (1.70 Nm).
Adding Heat-Shrink Tubing to Custom Built Cables
Note Heat-shrink tubing should be used only with MC20X20V dual-shielded cables. Do not use heat-shrink wrap with MC20X20V quad-shielded cables.
The heat-shrink tubing adds rigidity to the connection between the connector and the cable. The tubing is not required, but recommended. This procedure describes how to add heat-shrink tubing to the cables.
Tools and Equipment
•Heat-shrink tubing—See the "Technical Specifications and Component Part Numbers" section.
•MCX cable prep tool (cable stripper)—White Sands Engineering part number CPT-7538-125 (for dual-shielded cables).
•MCX cable crimping tool—White Sands Engineering part number ACT-483.
•MCX connectors—White Sands Engineering part number MCXFP (for dual-shielded cables).
•Cable—75-ohm precision miniature video cable, single strand bonded foil 1855 type.
•Heat source—To shrink the tubing around the cable (for example, a hand-held dryer).
Note The heat-shrink tubing cannot be added if there is a connector on the end of the cable.
Adding Heat-Shrink Tubing
To add heat-shrink tubing to the cable, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Cut the new cable to the desired length.
Step 2 Strip the cable with the MCX cable prep tool per manufacturer instructions.
Step 3 Cut a piece of heat-shrink tubing approximately 1-inch in length.
Note The heat-shrink tubing has a 2:1 ratio for shrinkage (tubing has a 0.125-in. inside diameter with a 0.025-in. thick wall after recovery).
Step 4 Slide the tubing onto the cable.
Figure 25 Heat-Shrink Tubing on Cable Before Shrinking
Step 5 Install a MCX connector per manufacturers instructions.
Figure 26 Installing MCX Connectors
Step 6 Slide the heat-shrink tubing down the cable until the end is touching the connector.
Step 7 Use a heat source (hand-held dryer) to shrink the tubing around the cable.
Step 8 If the tubing overlaps the connector after it has shrunk, cut back the shrink tubing to the end of the connector.
Note If the tubing overlaps the connector, the connector will be difficult to install in the UCH2 slot, and the UCH2 may not function properly.
