Procedure 27 To route fiber cables to NT and LT cards
Use the following procedure to route and connect 7360 ISAM FX-16 fiber cables to NT and LT
cards.
1 To route fiber cables to NT and LT cards, proceed as follows:
a If routing fiber cables using a fiber management guide, mount the fiber management
guide. See Procedure 26.
b If routing fiber cables without using a fiber management guide, continue to step 2.
2 Prepare fiber optic cables for the equipped NT and LT cards.
3 Label both ends of each cable with the following information, for future identification:
• card connection name
• Tx or Rx, depending on which port is used for the connection
4 Route the fiber cables from the source to the top of the rack.
5 If using a fiber management guide, route the fiber cables through the fiber management
guides, and toward the NT and LT cards. Otherwise, route the fiber cables, maintaining a
proper bend radius, toward the NT and LT cards:
a Route to the left for:
• NT card A
• LT cards in slots 01 to 08
b Route to the right for:
• NT card B
• LT cards in slots 09 to 16
6 Insert the fiber cables into the appropriate optical modules located on the front panels of the
NT and LT cards. If optical modules must first be installed, see Procedure 28.
7 Route and connect the other end of the fiber cables as per site practices.
8 STOP. This procedure is complete.
Note — For NELT-B cards, 90° fiber connector strain relief boots are
required.
