1000BASE-SX/LX Optical Fiber Cable Installation
Description
This section describes how to route the 1000BASE-SX/LX optical
fiber cables from the interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX®
optical fiber distributing frame) to the 1000BASE-SX/LX optical ports.
Multi-mode optical fiber is required for LNW67 (1G SX) and single-
mode fiber is required for LNW68 (1G LX) circuit packs.
Important!
The LNW67 (1G SX) and the LNW68 (1G LX) will
not be supported until R1.1 of Metropolis
®
DMXtend.
The optical fiber cables will be connected to the 1000BASE-SX/LX
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.
