Chapter 2 Getting started

UHD modules use very powerful lasers: they must be connected exclusively

to optical connectors equipped with zirconium ferules. Using connectors

equipped with metallic ferrules could damage the plug-in connector.

Removing a module

The Platform must be switched off, and if it has a mains power supply, the

adapter cable must be unplugged

Completely unscrew (up to the stop) the two captive screws securing the module.

Carefully slide the module out of its slot.

Connecting fiber optic cable

Always inspect and clean the connector end face of the optical fiber

cable and the test port before mating both together.

Viavi is not responsible for damage and reduced performance caused

by bad fiber handling and cleaning.

Optical connector contamination is the #1 source of performance degradation

and test equipment repair

A single particle mated into the core of a fiber can cause significant back reflec-

tion, insertion loss and equipment damage. Visual inspection is the only way to

determine if the fiber connectors are truly clean before mating them.

Follow this simple "INSPECT BEFORE YOU CONNECT" process to ensure fiber end

faces are clean prior to mating connectors.
