Hello, Looking for information about cabling and possibly cards. Customer has system which is being ripped out. Replacing the unit and hopefully using existing cabling. There are 515 analog extensions in use. From photos there looks to be 5 cabinets/modules stacked. Unfortunately they did not remove the front panel therefor unable to see what cards are installed. Each cabinet has approx 15 cables on the rear. Look to be 25pr Amphenol cables. When we install our equipment we will have 22-23 units with 24 ports on a single amphenol cable. Therefor using 22-23 existing cables. Minimum downtime. This will obviously mean moving jumpers. Depending on the analog cards installed, either 8 or 16 port. Searches suggest 16 port cards with message waiting (site is hotel).
Approx 50 existing cables will not be used. It could be that each room may have had at one time 2 lines per room. Hence the number of cables.
Questions:
1. Gender of cables. Hard to make out but looking at an empty slot the PBX the PBX is female expecting a male cable.
2. Are the cables full 25pr Amphenol.
3. Best guess the type of analog extension cards.
Any information would be appreciated.
