Fibre Channel Fiber Installation - Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Installation Manual

Equipment and cable installation for 1665 Data Multiplexer
(1665 DMX)

Fibre channel fiber installation

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
This section describes how to route the optical fiber cables from the interconnecting
equipment (for example, an LGX
LNW73/73C Fibre Channel circuit packs. Multi-mode and single-mode optical fiber is
supported. Refer to engineering job spec for fiber requirements.
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.
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!
examined to ensure that they are clean. See
recommended cleaning procedures.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:

1 Refer to the engineering job specification. Determine the function slot that the pack will
be inserted. The LNW73/73C can be inserted into any of the function slots including the
growth slots.
