Fiber Optic Connections - Active to Passive
Modules
Overview
The Model GS7000 Optical Hub allows for the required fiber optic interconnections
between the active and passive modules within the hub housing.
This procedure assumes a specific type of connector as an example. Your connector
may be different from the one shown in these illustrations. Be sure to install the
connector according to the connector manufacturer’s instructions.
Important: Fiber optic cable installation is a critical procedure. Incorrect
installation can result in severely degraded performance. Be sure to carefully
follow fiber connector manufacturer’s instructions. See Care and Cleaning of
Optical Connectors (on page 103).
Fiber Management System
The fiber management system for interconnecting the active and passive modules
consists of a fiber slack spool with integrated fiber track.
The fiber slack spool is mounted in position 11 in the housing lid. The integrated
fiber track routes the fibers between the active modules in the housing lid and the
passive modules in the housing base.
The following illustration shows the location of these components.
