16.2.3 Fiber cables
Standard single-mode fiber cables with LC connectors are connected to the SFP
optical modules for transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) purposes.
The GPON and EPON SFPs require an SC/UPC connector.
The NELT-B requires 90° fiber connector strain relief boots.
16.2.4 Fiber management kit
Fiber management guides are recommended for installment on the 7360 ISAM FX
shelves to provide proper fiber optic cable handling. The kit contains:
• fiber management guide for the NT and NTIO cards
• fiber management guide for the LT cards
One fiber management guide is required for every four LT cards.
16.3 Routing fiber optic cables
This section provides procedures for mounting fiber management guides, routing
and connecting fiber optic cables to the NT and LT cards for 7360 ISAM FX-8, and
for installing optical modules.
Figure 168 shows the 7360 ISAM FX-8 mounting of the fiber management kit.
Note 1 — For an overview of the supported SFP modules, see
the 7360 ISAM FX Product Information Guide.
Note 2 — Nokia recommends protecting any SFP cage that is
not equipped with an SFP module, with a dust cover in order to
prevent dust intrusion.
Note 3 — The type of optical fibers selected must match the
particular SFP to guarantee the overall optical budget in the
system and it’s correct operation. Loss of optical power as a
result of a mismatch in materials must be avoided.
