Connecting the Optical Cables
Fiber optic jumpers can easily be damaged if they are improperly
handled and installed. It is imperative that all guidelines for the proper
handling of optical fibers and the standard installation practices for
field use be followed.
Dirt particles can enter the optical fiber connector. Place a protective
cap over any open optical fiber connector.
To ensure faultless operation of the FSP 3000 C system, use only
fiber-optic cables released and provided by ADVA Optical
Networking. Fiber-optic cables other than ones released and provided
by ADVA Optical Networking may not be compatible with FSP 3000
C modules and interoperability cannot be guaranteed.

Connecting the Optical Cables
This procedure assumes that:
l The traffic modules and pluggable transceivers have been installed
correctly;
l The appropriate fiber tray has been installed (if needed);
l The traffic modules have booted up;
l You have properly inspected and cleaned the fiber-optic connectors
and receptacles; and
l You have reviewed Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings,
as well as all of the safety guidelines.
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: HARDWARECOMPONENTS. 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 have been done to determine if attenuators are
necessary.
