Main optical fiber installation (OC-12, OC-48, OC-192)

Description
This section describes how to route the optical fiber cables from the interconnecting
equipment (for example, a LGX
the Alcatel-Lucent 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 Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX after the
circuit packs are installed. The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX requires single-mode fiber for
the main OLIUs.
Note:
placed in a protective tube or channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable
channel, when running the cable from the Alcatel-Lucent 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.
Note:
packs. The "ANGLED" is referring to the rotating boot on the connector and not the
connector. APC or Angled Polished Connectors are not supported.
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.
Note:
ensure that they are clean. See
