1.9.3 Fiber Cable Installation

Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327.
Caution
Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots.
ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 cards have SC connectors and the OC-3 cards have LC connectors. To
install fiber-optic cables in the ONS 15327, a fiber cable with the corresponding connector type must be
connected to the transmit and receive ports on the ONS 15327 cards. On ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48
card ports, the left-hand connector is the transmit port and the right-hand connector is the receive port.
Cisco recommends that you label the transmit and receive ports and the working and protection fibers at
each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.
Warning Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture port when no cable is connected. To avoid
exposure to laser radiation do not stare into open apertures.

Procedure: Install and Route Fiber-Optic Cables in the ONS 15327

Place the SC connector in front of the connection point on the card faceplate. Each card supports at least
