4.2.1 Cabling a Dual Fiber-Optic High-Speed Network Module

Perform the following steps to connect fiber optic cables to Port 1 and 2 of a high‐speed net‐
work module (HN4000‐GbX or HN4000‐FEX).
Fiber Optic Ports - Optical Safety. Never look at the transmit LED/laser through a magnifying
device while it is powered on. Never look directly at the fiber port or fiber cable ends when they are
powered on.
To avoid degradation of optical-fiber signals and poor system performance, follow appropriate
local practices to ensure that optical-fiber connector ends are clean and free from contamination.
Always install the provided dust covers on transceiver optical ports and connector ends that are

not being used.
The bend radius for fiber optic cables shall not be less than 3/4" (20 mm).
Caution
Step 1. Verify that SFP transceivers have been installed in Ports 1 and 2 of the uplink card.
Step 2. Verify that the optical fiber cables are long enough to maintain a proper bending
radius where the cables enter the front of the HN4000 and are routed through a cable‐
guide slot in the right‐side mounting bracket.
Step 3. Remove the protective dust covers from the fiber cable connectors.
Step 4. Clean the connector ends using appropriate local practices.
Step 5. Connect the fiber optic cable to the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) of the transceiver
in Port 1 and (optionally) in Port 2.
Step 6. Dress the cables to the right of the HN4000 and through a cable‐guide slot in the
right‐side mounting bracket.
Step 7. Terminate the other end of the fiber optic cable per customer requirements.
