Fiber Optic Cable Connections

A.2.6
This system normally operates as a Class I Laser Product (no
hazard), however during servicing operations, when optical
connectors are being connected, disconnected, or handled
without dust covers, it is possible to be exposed to Class IIIB
laser radiation which can cause eye damage.
Fiber optic connectors are delicate and can be damaged easily
by dirt or debris on the end of the connector. Keep fiber optic
connectors free of dust and debris by cleaning the connector
before and after use. Carefully clean the fiber optic connector
and cable ends with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or an
alcohol wipe. Keep safety cap on connectors when not in use.
The OC3 radio repeater cable carries DS1 clocks, data, and overhead
for two directions. OC3 fiber optic cables must be run separately. If the
repeater cable is not used, the embedded data in the overhead must
also be cabled individually. In this case, separate cables must be run
for MCS-11, audio, RS-232, and ELMC.
Refer to Table A - 3 for recommended fiber optic jumpers.
