Procedure 5-20
Connecting fiber optic cables to 2xGE(o) interfaces of
64G PKT SW circuit pack
Use this procedure to connect the fiber optic cables to the 2xGE interfaces of
the 6200 network element.
Note: The 6200 network element does not support 6G PKT SW and 64G
PKT SW circuit packs together on the same chassis.
Prerequisites
Make sure that the following tools and materials are available:
• two simplex LC optical patch cords or one duplex LC optical patch cord
• cable ties
Ensure that the optical or electrical SFP modules are inserted into the optical
interface ports, refer to Procedure 10-6, Installing and removing pluggable
modules, for details
Action
Step Action
1 Identify the fiber optic cables.
2 Remove the dust caps on the optical interfaces.
3 Inspect and clean the connectors/adaptors on the patch cord. For details,
refer to Procedure 9-2, Cleaning optical connectors and adapters on patch
cords.
4 Connect the appropriate fiber optic cables to the transmit and receive ports
of 64G PKT SW card circuit pack. For details, refer to Figure 5-31 on page
5-56.
Note: When connecting the fiber optic cables to the transmit and receive
ports ensure that the orientation of Tx and Rx is correct.

DANGER
Risk of personal injury
When the shelf is powered on, the optical interface ports emit
laser light that can blind. Keep all optical connectors on the
optical interface ports capped when they are not connected to
optical fiber cables. Never look directly into the end of an
optical fiber.
