OC-3/OC12 Main Optical Fiber Cable Installation
Description
This section describes how to route the optical fiber cables from the
interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX® optical fiber
distributing frame) to the Main OLIUs of the Metropolis
®
DMXplore.
This procedure does not cover routing the optical fiber cable between
sites.
The optical fiber cables are connected to the Metropolis
®
DMXplore
after the circuit packs are installed. The Metropolis
®
DMXplore
requires single-mode fiber for the main OLIUs. See ED8C947-10
Common Systems, Metropolis
®
DMXplore Access Multiplexer,
Engineering and Ordering Information for recommended fibers.
Important!
The optical fiber cable is fragile and must be
protected. The fibers should be placed in a protective tube or
channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable channel, when
running the cable from the Metropolis
®
DMXplore to the cable
rack. The fibers should be placed in the cable rack in a protective
channel with nothing on top of them. Cable ties should NOT be
used with the optical fiber cables.
WARNING
Unterminated optical connectors may emit laser radiation. Do
not view an unterminated optical connector with optical
instruments. Avoid direct exposure of the eyes to the beam.
Important!
Prior to connecting the optical fiber cables, the fibers
should be examined to ensure that they are clean. See Appendix B,
Fiber Cleaning for recommended cleaning procedures.
