How to Connect a Fiber-Optic Cable from a Transceiver on a PTX10004
Router
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in the PTX10004 router, ensure
that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
Guidelines and Warnings" on page
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in the PTX10004 router:
WARNING:
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING:
even if the interface has been disabled.
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. If the optical transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver.
4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way
in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
CAUTION:
Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and
cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION:
allow fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening
point.
