Figure 5: Rear View of the Patch Panel
The following figure shows the assigned wavelengths for each port on the patch panel, as indicated at the top
of the patch panel bar. The numbers on the patch panel bar correspond to a wavelength on the ITU grid.

Step 6 As necessary, repeat Steps 3 through 5 for the remaining three Add RX ports on the 32WSS or 32MUX-O card,
until all 32 LC connectors on the bottom row of the rear of the patch panel are connected.
Step 7 At the adjacent 32DMX or 32DMX-O card in the same side of the shelf, plug the MPO connector of an MPO
cable into the top Drop TX (30.3–36.6) port of the 32DMX or 32DMX-O card. If you are connecting a
subsequent MPO cable, plug the MPO connector into the first vacant Drop TX card port below the last MPO
cable that was installed.
Step 8 Route the MPO cable slack through the patch panel tray as necessary.
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.
Caution
Step 9 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 10 As necessary, repeat Steps 7 through 9 for the remaining three Drop TX ports on the 32DMX or 32DMX-O
card, until all 32 LC connectors on the top row of the rear of the patch panel are connected.
Step 11 For a hub or ROADM node, repeat Steps 2 through 10 to cable the other side of the shelf to the second patch
panel. For a terminal node, go to Step 12.
Step 12 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
