  • Page 9 May 27, 2015 Rev. B7 PREFACE The S320 Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) Hardware User Guide provides detailed information about the physical form and functionality of the CALIENT S320 fiber-optic switch. AUDIENCE This guide is written for both network operations center personnel and field service personnel who use and maintain the S320 OCS.

  • Page 10: Introduction

    OCS functionality and physical architecture, including precise descriptions of the LEDs and physical interfaces located on the front and rear of the OCS chassis; and step-by-step procedures for unpacking and installing a new S320 OCS. This document also provides system specifications for regulatory, reliability, space, optical and environmental requirements, as well as CALIENT part numbers for ordering additional systems or hardware components that may eventually need replacement (e.g., fan filter).

  • Page 11: Safety Overview

     Become familiar with the safety precautions, notes and warnings contained in this guide.  Observe all weight cautions related to handling equipment. Make sure that adequate personnel and resources are available to safely lift and transport the S320 OCS during installation.
  • Page 12 If the hazard is not mitigated through the use of proper safety equipment and the observance of safety precautions, blindness can result. This section presents general safety measures that must be observed by personnel working on or around the S320 OCS to reduce or eliminate the risk of injury from laser radiation.

  • Page 13: Laser Sources

    2.1.2.1 Class 1 Laser The S320 OCS uses a Class 1 laser internally as a test source. Light from this laser could potentially be available at a fiber termination. The S320 OCS is certified as a Class 1 laser product per the requirements of the U.S.

  • Page 14: Optical Connections

    2.3.2 Optical Fiber Bend Radius The Minimum Bend Radius (MBR) for optical fiber cables used on the S320 OCS is 1 inch (25 mm). An optical fiber or fiber-optic cable should not be bent below the MBR. Bending a fiber below the MBR can result in damage to the fiber.

  • Page 15: Cleaning Substance Hazards

    S320 OCS Hardware User Guide Doc. Part No. 460167-00 May 27, 2015 Rev. B7  When optical cables or optical connectors are not connected, make sure the cables and/or connectors are capped. Be sure to use clean caps.  Handle the fiber cables as little as possible.

    S320 OCS Hardware User Guide Doc. Part No. 460167-00 May 27, 2015 Rev. B7 Isopropyl alcohol is harmful if it is inhaled, ingested or comes into contact with the eyes or skin. Use it only in a well-ventilated area. If exposure occurs, immediately call emergency medical services, followed by your local poison control center.

  • Page 17: Nitrogen

    2.4.4 Nitrogen CALIENT recommends using small, disposable cylinders of 99.9% pure compressed nitrogen gas when cleaning S320 OCS optical fiber connectors. Attention should be given to the information provided in the cylinder supplier’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Nitrogen cylinders contain gas under high pressure that can cause rapid suffocation when released.
  • Page 18 S320 OCS Hardware User Guide Doc. Part No. 460167-00 May 27, 2015 Rev. B7  Use only materials compatible with the gas.  Never allow any substance (gas or liquid) to get into a cylinder that is in use. If there is a risk this could happen, mount an anti-return valve.

  • Page 19: The Calient S320 Ocs System

    The S320 architecture is shown in Figure 1. The core of the S320 OCS is the MEMS Switch Module (MSM). Input fibers are connected to the MSM, which establishes connections with any of the desired output fibers. Light tapped from the input and output fibers is delivered to the Optical Monitoring Module (OMM) to enable monitoring of existing connections and establishment and optimization of new connections.
