Connecting PIC Cables to the PTX5000

The PTX5000 supports PICs that use various kinds of network cable, including multimode and single-

mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type of cable used by each PIC, see the

Interface Module

You connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to the PICs (see

1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the PIC. See the

2. If the PIC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.

LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends

of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a

transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or

removing 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 PIC faceplate.

4. Arrange the cable in the cable management system 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 in the cable management system. Placing

fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
