Chapter 3 Turn Up a Node
DLP-G71 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for an ROADM Node
Step 7
Route the fiber cable through the cable-routing channel and cutout on the appropriate side of the shelf
assembly, as necessary (
Step 8
As needed, route slack fiber-optic cable around the round cable retainers in the fiber-storage tray
(
).
Caution
When you close the fiber-storage tray, the cables must not be pinched, and the cable bend radius must
be equal to or greater than the minimum radius that is recommended in your site specifications. As you
route each cable through the fiber-storage tray, make sure that adequate cable slack remains.
Step 9
Route the fiber cable out either side of the fiber-storage tray as necessary.
Step 10
Plug the other end of the cable into the TX port.
Note
Cards display an SF LED after the OSC terminations are created (see the
OSC Terminations” procedure on page 3-84
) if transmit and receive fibers are not connected
correctly. For example, an RX port is connected to another RX port or a TX port is connected to
another TX port.
Step 11
Repeat
through
until you have connected the nodes according to the site plan.
Step 12
Return to your originating procedure (NTP
).
DLP-G71 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for an ROADM Node
Note
Throughout this task, west refers to Slots 1 through 8, and east refers to Slots 10 through 17.
Note
To avoid errors, connect fiber-optic cable in fiber connections so that the farthest slot to the right
represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Inter-shelf, line side
connections (connections that span between adjacent sites), should be made such that fiber connected to
an east port on one node connects into the west port on an adjacent node.
Step 1
Refer to the Cisco MetroPlanner Internal Connections table (see
) for your site
when completing connections. Before you begin connecting fiber-optic cabling for ROADM nodes, read
and understand the following rules:
Purpose
