OC-12 Low Speed Optical Fiber Cable Installation
Description
This section describes how to route the single-mode optical fiber cables
from the interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX® optical fiber
distributing frame) to the Metropolis
®
DMXtend OC-12 optical ports.
This procedure does not cover routing the optical fiber cable between
sites.
Important!
The LNW46 2 OC-12pack will not be supported until
R1.1 of Metropolis
®
DMXtend.
The optical fiber cables will be connected to the OC-12 optical ports
after the circuit packs are installed.
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
®
DMXtend 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.
WARNING
Invisible laser radiation exists when unterminated. 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.
