DLP-G316 Install Fiber-Optic Cables from a TXP/MXP Node to the Patch Panel
Step 1
At the appropriate TXP/MXP card, plug a fiber-optic cable into the TX port of the DWDM connector.
Step 2
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 3
On the DWDM (front) side of the patch panel, plug the other end of the cable into the connector on the
bottom row that corresponds to the wavelength to which the TXP/MXP port is tuned. (See
for a view of the wavelengths assigned to the patch-panel connectors).

Step 4
Plug a fiber-optic cable into the RX port of the DWDM connector on that TXP/MXP card.
Step 5
On the DWDM (front) side of the patch panel, plug the other end of the cable into the connector on the
top row that corresponds to the wavelength to which the TXP/MXP port is tuned.
Step 6
Repeat Steps
through
for all of the TXP/MXP cards that you want to connect to this patch panel.
Step 7
Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
