Description
This section describes how to route the single-mode fiber optical cables from the
interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX
1665 DMX High-Capacity shelf OC3/OC12/OC48 optical ports. This procedure does not
cover routing the optical fiber cable between sites.
The optical fiber cables will be connected to the optical ports after the circuit packs are
installed.
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 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.
Important!

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.
Important!
