Description
This section describes how to route the optical fiber cables from the interconnecting
equipment (for example, a LGX
the 1665 DMX High-Capacity shelf. This procedure does not cover routing the optical
fiber cable between sites.
The optical fiber cables will be connected to the 1665 DMX after the circuit packs are
installed. The 1665 DMX requires single-mode fiber for the main OLIUs.
Important!
be placed in a protective tube or channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable
channel, when running the cable from the 1665 DMX High-Capacity shelf 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 when unterminated. Avoid direct exposure of the eyes to the
beam.
