I hooked my ATM DS-3 up with coax I had made from Anixter. It's about
35'. I have had zero problems out of it. Just buy some.
regards,
Steve

interesting. the CCO links I checked verify what you say.

watch the wrap
I find it interesting that Cisco flat out states you can't get the cable
from outside vendors. I would think 75 ohm coax with the appropriate BNC
connector would be available from any reputable cable vendor. you may
want
to phone around.
I also find it ambiguous when Cisco says that "The Cisco PA-T3 75-ohm
coaxial cable (see Figure 1-5) is available only in 10-foot (3.05-meter)
lengths. Line build-out is programmable for up to 450 feet of 734A or
equivalent coaxial cable or up to 225 for 728A or equivalent coaxial
cable."
I read that to mean that you have alternatives to the Cisco provided
cable.
calls to cable vendors might help clarify this.
you may want to call Cisco tac and ask for clarification.
BTW, I have customers with PA-T3 cards further than 10 feet from the
telco
drop. I don't recall what they did for cable.

(had to ask again) I have a PA-T3 about 25 feet away from OC3
(Ameritech).
The Cisco documentation is very unclear on whether I can you a non-Cisco
cable for this. The Cisco cable is only 10 feet long, so I can't get it
from the demarc into the server room. DS3 documenation says that I can
go
upto 400 feet or so, but it all depends on the CSU/DSU. So my question
is
whether or not I can have a coax cable made up (50 feet), and if I did
that,
what kind of problems might I run into.
