DLP-G356 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables from the 32WSS/32DMX and 32MUX-O/32DMX-O Cards to the Deep Patch Panel Tray
Note For a ROADM or hub node, two patch panels will be used, one for Side A (Slots 1 through 6) and one for
Side B (Slots 12 through 17). The Side B 32WSS/32DMX card will connect to the Side B patch panel. The
Side A 32WSS/32DMX card will connect to the Side A patch panel. The MPO cables in the patch panel are
preinstalled and routed out of the right side of the patch panel tray.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose either Side A or Side B of the shelf to cable the 32MUX-O and 32DMX-O cards (or the 32WSS and
32DMX cards for a ROADM node).
Step 2 On the patch panel, locate the MPO connectors
Step 3
Route the preinstalled MPO cables out of the tray to the right or left.

Step 5
Plug the MPO connector labeled 2-RX into the Add RX (38.1–44.5) port on the card.
Step 6 Plug the MPO connector labeled 3-RX into the Add RX (46.1–52.5) port on the card.
Step 7
Plug the MPO connector labeled 4-RX into the Add RX (54.1–60.6) port on the card.

36) into the top Add RX (30.3–36.6) port of the card.
When you close the patch panel tray, the cables must not be pinched, and the cable bend radius
must be equal to or greater than the minimum radius that is recommended in your site specifications.
As you route each cable through the patch panel tray, make sure that adequate cable slack remains.
