Step 9 As necessary, repeat Steps 6 through 8 for the remaining three Add Rx ports on the 32WSS or
MUX-O card, until all 32 connectors on the bottom row of the rear of the patch panel are connected.
Step 10 At the adjacent 32DMX or DMX-O card in that side of the shelf, plug the MPO connector of an MPO
cable into the top ADD RX (30.3 -36.6) port of the 32DMX or DMX-O card. If you are connecting to
the next MPO cable, plug it into the MPO connector below the previous MPO cable.
Step 11 Route the MPO cable slack through the patch-panel tray as necessary.
Caution When you close the patch-panel tray, the cables must not be pinched, and the cable bend radius must be
equal to or greater than the minimum radius that is recommended in your site specifications. As you
route each cable through the patch-panel tray, make sure that adequate cable slack remains.
Step 12 While facing the front of the patch panel, at the rear of the patch panel, plug the eight LC-connector
fan-out cables on the MPO cable into their corresponding connectors on the top row of the patch panel.
You should plug the fan-out cables from left to right (as you face the patch panel), following the numbers
tagged (1 through 8) on the cables.
Step 13 As necessary, repeat Steps 10 through 12 for the remaining three Add Rx ports on the 32DMX card, until
all 24 connectors on the top row of the rear of the patch panel are connected.
Step 14 For a hub or ROADM node, repeat Steps 5 through 13 to cable the other side of the shelf to the second
patch panel. For a terminal node, go to Step 15.
Step 15 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
