OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 low-speed optical fiber cable installation

Description

This section describes how to route the single-mode fiber optical cables from the

interconnecting equipment (for example, an LGX

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 optical ports. This procedure does

not cover routing the optical fiber cable between sites.

The optical fiber cables will be connected to the OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 optical ports after

the circuit packs are installed.

Note:

placed in a protective tube or channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable

channel, when running the cable from the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend to the cable

rack. The fibers should be placed in the cable rack in a protective channel with nothing

on top of them. Cable ties should NOT be used with the optical fiber cables.

Unterminated optical connectors may emit laser radiation. Do not view an unterminated

optical connector with optical instruments.

Invisible laser radiation exists when unterminated. Avoid direct exposure of the eyes to

the beam.

Note:

ensure that they are clean. See

cleaning procedures.
