Connecting the Optical Cables
Connecting the Optical Cables
This procedure assumes that:
l The traffic modules and pluggable transceivers are installed correctly;
l The appropriate fiber tray is installed (if needed);
l The traffic modules are booted up;
l The fiber-optic connectors and receptacles are properly inspected and
cleaned; and
l The Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings, as well as all of
the safety guidelines, are reviewed.
Before connecting the fibers to the client/network equipment, ensure that
the maximum power levels are not exceeded. For power level
information, see the relevant module information in the appropriate traffic
module chapter in PART1: HARDWARE COMPONENTS. Always
measure channel module network port fiber power using an optical power
meter before connecting the fiber.
Connecting the other end of the network cables to the network/dark fiber
itself must wait until tests are done to determine if attenuators are
necessary.
1. Read the installation plan and identify the first module in the first shelf that has one or
more connections defined.
2. Verify that you are properly grounded with an anti-static wrist strap or heel strap
connected to the grounded ESDjack.
3. Prepare the module
a. Remove the dust covers and dust plugs only from the relevant connectors.
b. Inspect the connectors for damage. If you find any damage, do not use this
connector. Contact ADVA Optical Networking Technical Support for assistance.
Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
4. Select the correct cable types (according to your installation plan).
5. Prepare each cable
a. Remove the protective cap from each end.
b. Inspect the plug for damage. If you find any damage, replace the jumper.
c. Clean the plug using a standard cleaning kit. Be careful not to contaminate the
surfaces after cleaning.
6. Connect the HD components (both client and network ports).
7. Route cables through the appropriate fiber management guides and into the
appropriate fiber management tray for your shelf.
