Fiber connections

General
Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-60 uses AllWave ADVANTAGE™ Lightguide Jumpers, part of
Alcatel-Lucent's AllWave ADVANTAGE™ Optical Connectivity Solution (OCS). These
jumpers contain a boot angled at 40 degrees, allowing the jumpers to dress appropriately
into the fiber tray. The angled boot eliminates projection outside the front of the shelf
assembly.
All fiber connectors should be cleaned and inspected before assembling into connector
ports. Refer to
connectors when not installed in a connector port.
LC-type connections
LC-type fiber connectors use a snap-action, lever-tab locking method to join the fiber
connector to the port connector.
Figure D-5 LC-type fiber connector
The LC-type fiber connector is assembled onto an LC-type connector port of a circuit pack
or LC-type LBO by aligning the alignment key with the slot in the connector port and
pushing the connector into the port until it snaps into place.
The LC-type fiber connector is removed from a connector port by depressing the
snap-action lever to disengage the fiber connector.
