Fiber installation for low-speed packs

Description
This section describes how to route the single-mode fiber optical cables from the
interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX high-capacity shelf OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 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.
Note:
placed in a protective tube or channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable
