Chapter 3 Turn Up a Node
DLP-G67 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for a Terminal Node
Step 2
Plug one end of the fiber cable into the desired RX port.
Step 3
Route the fiber cable on the card faceplate through the fiber clip on the faceplate, if provided. (Fiber clips
are factory-attached to the faceplates of 32MUX-O, 32DMX-O, OSCM, OPT-PRE, and OPT-BST
cards.)
Step 4
Route the fiber cable through the cable-routing channel and cutout on the appropriate side of the shelf
assembly, as necessary (
Step 5
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 6
Route the fiber cable out either side of the fiber-storage tray as necessary.
Step 7
Plug the other end of the cable into the desired 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 8
Repeat
through
until you have connected the nodes according to the site plan.
Step 9
Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-G67 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for a Terminal Node
Note
Throughout this task, west refers to Slots 1 through 8, and east refers to Slots 10 through 17.
Step 1
Refer to the Cisco MetroPlanner Internal Connections table (see
) for your site
when completing connections. Before you begin terminal node connections, read the following rules:
1.
If a DCU is not installed, a 4-dB attenuator loop, +/– 1 dB must be installed between the OPT-PRE DC ports.
Purpose
This task installs fiber-optic cables on a terminal node DWDM shelf.
