Connecting Dpc, Mpc, Mic, Or Pic Cables To The Mx240 Router - Juniper MX240 Hardware Manual

Connecting DPC, MPC, MIC, or PIC Cables to the MX240 Router

To connect the DPCs, MPCs, MICs, or PICs to the network (see
Figure 80 on page 262):
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the component. For cable specifications, see the
Series Interface Module
2. Remove the rubber safety plug from the cable connector port.
WARNING:
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION:
inserting or removing a cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
3. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.
NOTE: The XFP cages and optics on the components are industry standard parts that
have limited tactile feedback for insertion of optics and fiber. You need to insert the optics
and fiber firmly until the latch is securely in place.
4. Arrange the cable to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it
is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop.
CAUTION:
An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Reference.
Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
Avoid bending a fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius.
