8. Lay out the new optical cable in a tidy manner in the cabinet and bind the
optical cable with a binding strap. Note that the optical cable should be
bound with proper strength and with even space in between. Bind the
redundancies of the optical cable at the ODF side.
9. Check whether the new optical cable works normally.
a. Check the LINK indicator at the optical interface. If the indicator is steady
on and green, it indicates that the link is Up.
b. Check whether the service on the board where the new optical cable
connects is normal. If the services are normal, it indicates that the optical
cable is replaced successfully.
c. Check whether there is any new alarm or performance event.
Follow-up Procedure
After replacing an optical cable, collect the tools and the replaced optical cable.
Do not place the old and the new optical cables together to avoid confusions.
4.1.11.6 Replacing a Network Cable
Context
Before replacing a network cable, you need to note the following points:
● During the process of replacing a network cable, the services are interrupted
temporarily.
● It is recommended that you replace a network cable during the hours when
the network is not busy, for example, from 00:00 am to 06:00 am.
Tool
Before replacing a network cable, you need the following tools:
● Cutter
● Cable tie
● ESD wrist strap or ESD glove
● Cable tester
● Crimper
Procedure
1. Check the location and cabling of the network cable to be replaced.
2. Prepare a new network cable. The type of the new network cable must be
consistent with that of the old network cable. When a network cable is made,
test its connectivity with a cable tester.
3. Wear the ESD gloves or wrist strap and connect the grounding terminal to the
ESD jack on the rack.
4. Lay out the new network cable according to the original cabling mode.
If you need to replace more than one network cable at a time, you should
attach temporary labels to the new network cables to identify the cables. The
