ANSI Hardware Installation Manual Fiber optic cable management in the 7360 ISAM
FX-12 shelf

12.2.3 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.
12.2.4 Fiber management guides
Fiber management guides are recommended for installation on 7360 ISAM FX-12 
shelves, in order to provide proper fiber optic cable handling. Fiber management 
guides are used for:
• fiber management for the NT and NTIO cards
• fiber management for the LT cards
One fiber management guiding element is required for every three LT cards, and for 
the two NT cards and one NTIO card.
12.3 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-12, and 
for installing optical modules.
Figure 111 shows the mounting of the 7360 ISAM FX-12 fiber management guide.
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.
