DLP-G357 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables from the TXP, MXP Cards to the Deep
Patch Panel Tray or 40-Channel Patch Panel Tray
This task describes how to route fiber-optic cables
from the deep patch panel (32-channel) or 40-channel
patch panel to TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP,
GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP
cards.
Purpose
TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE,
10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card(s)
Deep (32-channel) patch panel tray or 40-channel
patch panel tray
Fiber-optic cable(s)

Procedure
Step 1 Refer to the Cisco Transport Planner Internal Connections Report to connect the TXP, MXP, GE_XP,
10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card to the proper (Side A or Side B) patch
panel. At the appropriate TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP
card, plug one end of a fiber-optic cable into the TX port of the DWDM adapter.
Step 2 As needed, route slack fiber-optic cable around the round cable retainers in the fiber-storage tray.
When you close the fiber-storage 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 fiber-storage tray, make sure that adequate cable slack remains.
Caution
Step 3 Plug the other end of the cable into the RX connector on the patch panel that corresponds to the wavelength
to which the TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP port is tuned.
(See Deep Patch Panel Port Wavelengths for a view of the wavelengths assigned to the deep patch panel
connectors or 40-Channel (15454-PP-80) Patch Panel Port Wavelengths for a view of the wavelengths assigned
to the 40-channel patch panel connectors).
Step 4 On the patch panel tray, slide each of the ten LC-port adapter packs upward.
Step 5 Plug one end of a fiber-optic cable into the RX port of the DWDM adapter on the TXP, MXP, GE_XP,
10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card.
Step 6 Plug the other end of the cable into the TX connector on the patch panel that corresponds to the wavelength
to which the TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP port is tuned.
