Install and Connect the Subrack Cards
Cabling OPT Cards to Connect a TEN to a Switching CAN
In this process you will connect SFP+ Modules to the fiber cable and then use the cable to connect a TEN to a
Switching CAN.
1 Complete the steps in "SFP+ Modules Tested for use with ERA” on page 62.
2 Obtain a pair of SFP+ Modules that correspond to the length and type of fiber you will use to connect the
CAN to the TEN or the WIN. Note the maximum range listed in Table 13 on page 61.
3 Follow local practice or manufacturer recommendations to clean fiber connectors.
4 Connect one end of the cable with an SFP+ Module into one of the OPT Card ports (labeled 1 - 4) installed
in the Switching CAN—you can only use Slots L1 - L8 in the Switching CAN.
5 Connect the other end of the cable with an SFP+ Module into an OPT Card in the TEN, as follows:
• Use Port R1.1 to connect to the Switching CAN.
• Use Ports R1.2 through R1.4 for additional TEN-to-CAN links.
The graphics used in this process show a WCS-4 Subrack as a Switching CAN, and a WCS-2 Subrack as a
TEN. The same rules for slots and port connections apply if the Switching CAN was a WCS-2 Subrack or the
TEN was a WCS-4 Subrack.
