• Never touch the polished end of the fiber cable.
• To prevent serious eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable
connector or mating adapter.
• Clean all fiber optics before installing them into your network according to
prescribed procedures.
• Ensure that the bend radius of your fiber cables is kept to a minimum of 3” or that
specified by the fiber cable manufacturer.
• Perform all cabling procedures according to the established standards for your
organization.
Connecting to the Physical Interface Cards
To connect network 10GbE optical cabling to the 10GbE optical physical interface
cards:
1. Locate the 10GbE fiber optic cables you plan to connect to the Acme Packet
6300/6350.
2. Insert the duplex LC connector on the end of the fiber cable into one of the SFP+
optical transceivers. The connector should click and lock in place when you insert
it properly. The media and signaling ports (from left to right, bottom to top) are
labeled: P0 & P1 on each NIU. The image below shows Multi Mode cable.
SFP+ Ports
3. Route the cable away from the Acme Packet 6300/6350. Make sure that the fiber
optic cables are not stretched tightly or subjected to extreme stress. The image
below shows an Acme Packet 6300/6350 with media network cables properly
connected and inserted into ports P0 & P1. The image below shows Single Mode
cable.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 2 for each additional fiber optic cable you connect to your
Acme Packet 6300/6350.
Cabling for HA Deployments
The information and instructions in this section explain how to cable an HA node.
