Introduction
2.1
NPT-1020 Platform Layout
The NPT-1020 is a packet transport platform for the access, offering an All-Native solution that optimizes both TDM and packet handling. The NPT-1020 is a cost-effective choice for the first aggregation stage, geared for cellular tail locations (3G and LTE), providing a unique hybrid solution for high capacity access rings, and optimized for popular triple play applications.
As Packet Optical Access (POA) platform with enhanced MPLS-TP support, the NPT-1020 is designed around a centralized hybrid matrix card that supports any-to-any direct data card connectivity as well as native TDM switching capacity. The NPT-1020 offers a packet switching capacity of up to 10 Gbps or 60 Gbps (with a choice of two modes on the same unit) as well as a TDM capacity of up to 2.5G (16 x VC4 fully low order traffic).
The platform offers non-traffic-affecting upgrades from 1G-based configurations to 10GE-based (with up to 4 x 10GE interfaces) through the CPS50 card, a central packet switch (CPS) Tslot card for the NPT-1020. This card provides scalable upgrade with high capacity 10GE configuration to the NPT-1020. The CPS50 makes it possible to upgrade the system packet switching capacity to 60 Gbps, supporting up to 2 × 10GE (SFP+) and 2 flexible SFP houses (each can support 1 × 10GE with SFP+, or 1 × GE with SFP, or 2 × GE with CSFP).
The NPT-1020 offers enhanced MPLS-TP data network functionality, including the complete range of Ethernet-based services (CES, EoS, MoT, MoE, and PoE+) (see MPLS-TP and Ethernet Solutions).
The NPT-1020 is a compact (1U) base platform housed in a 243 mm deep, 465 mm wide, and 44 mm high equipment cage with all interfaces accessible from the front of the unit. The platform includes the following components:

Compact flash card (NVM)
Traffic connector to the (optional) EXT-2U expansion unit
Timing module (T3/T4, ToD and 1pps)
Redundant or non-redundant power supply modules (INF)
The NPT-1020 can be fed by 24 VDC, -48 VDC, or 94-240 VAC. In DC power feeding, two INF modules can be configured in two power supply module slots for redundant power supply, or one double slot INF module with dual-feeding can be configured. AC power feeding requires the use of a conversion module to implement AC/DC conversion.
The NPT-1020 can be installed in 2,200 mm or 2,600 mm ETSI racks or in 19” racks. The rugged platform design also makes this platform suitable for street cabinet use, withstanding temperatures up to 70°C. The NPT-1020 can also be configured as an expanded platform, when combined with the EXT-2U expansion unit, as illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 2-2: NPT-1020 platform with expansion unit
Typical power consumption for the NPT-1020 is 50 W. Power consumption is monitored through the management software. For more information about power consumption requirements, see the NPT
Installation and Maintenance Manual and the NPT System Specifications.

Preparing Cables and Fibers
N
OTE: This section provides information for preparing cables and optical fibers. The necessary cables can be ordered from ECI. For details, contact ECI’s Customer Support team or your ECI sales representative.Before you start:
The following main types of cables are required for installing the NPT-1020:
Grounding cables
DC power cables (RAP Input Power Cables and Platform Power Cables)
Alarm cables
Management cables
Timing (clock) cables
Some of these cables are supplied as part of the NPT-1020 equipment, while others must be prepared on site or ordered separately from ECI.
In the following sections, you will find information about the cables, and how to prepare them on site, where relevant. For details about the equipment connector types and cable wiring, see Connection Data.
W
ARNING: When preparing cables, in particular power and grounding cables, use onlyUL-listed components of the specified types. Components must also comply with any applicable national and local safety codes and regulations.
Only qualified trained personnel may be involved in the preparation of the various cable types. Personnel must use only approved procedures, in accordance with the applicable workmanship practice.
3.5.1
Grounding Cables
Platform grounding is achieved by connecting the platform to the rack using rack mounting brackets. Grounding is provided by contact when the unit is fastened to the rack.
A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copper conductors between the rack frame and the site grounding bus.
Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bus with a 2 AWG (35 mm2)
or thicker copper lead with yellow/green insulation, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.
Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare portion of the conductor with antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole compression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a bright finish and coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do not mix different types of metal conductors.
3.5.2
DC Power Cables
DC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables are needed:
RAP input power cables
Platform power cables
ECI recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to the frame ground at the rack end only.
3.5.2.1 RAP Input Power Cables
The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power from the site power distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the RAP.
Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The cables must use copper leads complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for the negative conductor. The RAP cable ends must be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching the conductor gauge.
The recommended cable gauge is 25 mm² or thicker. This gauge ensures that the voltage drop across the
rack power cable does not exceed 2 V, even for cable runs of maximum 30 meters connected to a RAP and providing power to multiple NPT-1020 platforms.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single NPT-1020 platform, lower-lead gauges may be used, as follows:
For runs not exceeding 20 meters, use 10 mm2 copper leads.
For runs not exceeding 30 meters, use 16 mm2 copper leads.
3.5.2.2 Platform Power Cables
One 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI, connects the input power from the rack RAP unit to the POWER IN connector on each INF-1020 module of each NPT-1020 platform installed in the rack.
3.5.3
Alarm Cables
Alarm cables used within NPT-1020 equipment are included in the shipment according to the site specifications.
The alarm indications are carried by the shelf alarm indication cable. One shelf alarm indication cable is required for each NPT-1020 shelf installed in the rack. This cable connects between the ALARM connector on the NPT-1020 and one of the ALARMS connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only). Cable length is 2.0 m.
N
OTE: There are no ALARMS connectors on the RAP-BG.3.5.4
Management Cables
Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a NPT-1020 platform via the RJ-45 (MNG) connector located on the front panel of the NPT-1020.
The MNG Ethernet connector is wired as a 10BaseT station port for direct connection through an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseT Ethernet hub.
Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources. Cables of Category 5 or better must be used. In all cases, the length of the cables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the cable type and hub port in use (up to a few dozen meters).
3.5.5
Timing (Clock) Cables
The NPT-1020 platform uses an RJ-45 connector on the front panel that integrates the two timing reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). If it has balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces, a multi twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI) is used to connect timing signals from the NPT-1020 to the site timing reference distribution subsystems.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703 interfaces, configure an adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI).
3.5.6
TOD/1PPS Cable
The NPT-1020 platform uses an RJ-45 connector on its front panel, marked TOD/1PPS, which provides timing and synchronization input/output signals, supporting IEEE 1588v2 standard.
If it has balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces, a multi twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI) is used to connect timing signals from the NPT-1020 to the site timing reference distribution subsystems.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703 interfaces, configure an adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI).

Optical Fibers
Optical fibers can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating connectors needed to prepare cables for each NPT-1020 module.
For each optical interface, ECI supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors already attached to the fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be installed on site.
The optical fibers for connecting to equipment installed in a given rack must enter the rack from the top, be threaded through cable guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the FST. The FST must contain enough fiber length for extracting modules from the NPT-1020 and for replacing fiber in case of damage (splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

Work and Equipment Safety
N
OTE: NPT-1020 equipment is intended for installation in restricted-access areas only.NPT-1020 platforms contain power sources of varying voltages. Note the following guidelines when installing the platforms:
Before you start:
Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections.
Make sure that sufficient lighting is available.
Do not work on any equipment connected to a voltage source (DC or AC).
Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70°C.
Use only insulated tools.
Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations.
Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during thunderstorms.
Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing platforms, cards, and modules.
Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.
3.6.1
Grounding Requirements
All the equipment, including NPT-1020 platforms, ancillary units, and equipment from other vendors, must be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment grounding is necessary to protect personnel and equipment, minimize noise, and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.
3.6.1.1 Rack Grounding Requirements
Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to ETSI recommendations (top/bottom connection).
The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the rack frame. The grounding stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol label.
The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a 35 mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable
or thicker, as short as possible, complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint. The cable must be made of copper strands and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.
N
OTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the RAP power leads.The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt. The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to ensure efficient electrical contact.
C
AUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cablecomplying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.
3.6.2
DC Power Supply Requirements
The NPT-1020 and EXT-2U platforms require two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC. Each power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit breaker installed in the RAP. The required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their current rating is in accordance with the order.
C
AUTION: Disconnect both power sources before service.ATTENTION: Dèbranchez les deux alimentations avant l'entretien.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device incorporated in the fixed power wiring of the site. This device limits the maximum delivered current to a safe value.

Protection against Electrostatic Discharge
This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of NPT-1020 equipment and its components against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (electrostatic discharge sensitive) or include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-3: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC) specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or is brought near another object.
