and the bottom connector is Receive. We recommend that the transmit and receive
and the working and protection fibers be labeled at each end of the fiber span to
avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.
Place the SC connector in front of the connection point on the transponder module
faceplate. Each transponder module supports at least one transmit and one receive
connector to create an optical carrier port.
Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving slot on the
faceplate connection point.
Gently push the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the
connector snaps into place.
Route fiber cables through the cable retaining clips on the optical card faceplate
into the cable management tray on the bottom of the shelf assembly.
Route the fiber cables from the cable management tray out of the right side of the
shelf assembly through cutout holes from the cable management tray.
The 10-GE transponder module and10–Gbps motherboard uses front panel
connections. In order to use this module and take advantage of its capabilities, you
must installan ITU direct insertion module. The ITU direct insertion module
allows the 10-GE backplane connectivity to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP.
The following procedure assumes that you have 10-GE transponder modules
installed in either slots 9 or 11 and an ITU insertion module in slot 10.
To attach and route cables from the 10-Gbps line card motherboards to the ITU
direct insertion module, follow these steps:
Attach one end of the MTP cable to the MTP connector on the 10-Gbps line card
motherboard.
Route the cable down through the cable management tray. Lead the cable to the
left of the tray and loop it around the spool once.
Guide the cable back towards the correct slot then up through the cable
management tray.
