Cisco ONS 15454 - NTP-G141 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables for Y-Cable Protection Modules

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 11 Thread the fiber cable through the second bend delimiter and out the appropriate side of the fiber-storage tray
as necessary.
Step 12 Route the fiber-optic cable through the vertical fiber guide as needed to reach the second ROADM shelf where
the second 32WSS is located.
Step 13 Route the fiber-optic cable through the shelf cutout and through the shelf cable routing channel as needed.
Step 14 Plug the end of the 3-meter fiber-optic cable into the EXP-RX port of the second 32WSS card.
Step 15 Plug one end of the second 3-meter fiber-optic cable into the EXP-TX connector on the second 32WSS card.
Step 16 Follow Step 7 through Step 14 to connect the EXP-TX connector of the second 32WSS card to the EXP-RX
port of the first 32WSS card.
Step 17 Close the fold-down doors located at the bottom of both shelf assemblies and slide the fiber-storage tray back
into its normal locked position.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-G141 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables for Y-Cable Protection
Modules
This procedure installs and routes fiber-optic cables
from the client signal to the Y-cable protection module
(single mode or multimode), and from the Y-cable
module to the transponder node. Using one Y-cable
protection module, you can protect one client signal
with two TXP, MXP, AR_MXP, AR_XP, AR_XPE,
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, or
OTU2_XP cards, and two client signals with four
TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE,
10GE_XPE, or OTU2_XP cards. You can use Y-cable
protection modules that you have installed in a
FleyLayer shelf, or Y-cable modules installed in a
Y-cable module tray.
