Connecting an FP cable

Prerequisites

241-1501-240 5.2S2

Connect an FP cable to enable an installed or replaced FP to transmit and

receive trafﬁc signals, and connect all cables in sequence for an initial

installation to minimize cable congestion on the front of the Passport 15000

Risk of service loss

Before connecting any cables to an FP, ensure it is

properly seated. Seating a cabled FP can cause a trafﬁc

loss on the other FPs in the sparing conﬁguration.

Risk of damage to the ﬁber transceivers on the FPs

When engaging or disengaging a ﬁber optical cable

connector to the connector on the FP faceplate (the

transceiver), you can damage the nose shield on the

connector or the optic transceiver by improper coupling.

This especially applies to MT-RJ connectors.

Refer to the table "Actions to engage types of FP

connectors" (page 324)

You must be familiar with "Safety considerations and best practices"

You must ensure that all FP cables are routed and labelled as described

in "Routing FP cables" (page 827).

You must install all attenuators that are required by an optical FP, as

described in "Determining if you need to use inline attenuators with

optical FPs" (page 345).

For FPs requiring small-form pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver

modules on the faceplate sockets (ports), you must ensure that the part is

installed according to"Installing an SFP optical module" (page 588).
