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. See engineering job spec for fiber requirements.
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
channel, when running the cable from the Alcatel-Lucent 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.
Note:
ensure that they are clean. See
cleaning procedures.
Steps

1
See 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.

Label the optical fiber cables, indicating bay, shelf, function group, pack, and direction
(IN or OUT).
