Connecting Optical Cables
Fiber Fish Tool
WARNING:
Unterminated fiber cables and connectors may emit invisible laser radiation.
Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable is
terminated before "fishing."
The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull an
optical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the optical
cables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of modules.
Fiber Fish Tool Hook
At the end of the Fiber Fish tool is a small hook that allows you to hold an optical
cable so that you can pull it through to the front panel of chassis.
To Pull the Optical Cable to the Module
1
Insert the Fiber Fish tool through the slot located just above the bottom of the
chassis.
2
At the rear of the chassis, locate the appropriate optical cable.
3
Insert the optical cable into the notched area of the Fiber Fish tool as shown
below.
4
At the front of the chassis, pull the Fiber Fish tool (with cable attached) to the
front of the chassis.
5
Disengage the optical cable from the Fiber Fish tool and attach to the appropriate
connector on the desired module.
