Juniper Y-cable with DCE DB25 Connectors

The Juniper Y-cable redundancy maximizes network availability by protecting hardware such as the chassis, processor, power supplies, and interface module from failures when connecting two CTP systems. Configuring Y-cable redundancy switches a circuit to a co-located alternate CTP and port during a network or equipment failure. The Y cable provides control leads between the two CTP systems, in addition to the standard signal, clock and data leads that are connected to the attached device.
