CAUTION:
• Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 100
mm (3.94 in).
• Keep the fiber end clean.
• Before connecting an optical fiber to a fiber port, make sure the fiber connector matches the
transceiver module in the fiber port.
• To avoid damage to a transceiver module, make sure the received optical power does not
exceed the maximum allowed receive power of the transceiver module.
• To connect an optical fiber to a fiber port, first install the transceiver module in the fiber port and
then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module. Do not connect an optical fiber directly
to a fiber port.
• If you are not to use a fiber port or transceiver module, insert dust plugs into the port or module.
If you are not to connect an optical fiber, install dust caps for the fiber connector.
Installing transceiver modules and optical fibers
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
3.
Pull the bail latch on the transceiver module upwards.
4.
Take the transceiver module by its two sides and push the end without the bail latch gently into
the port until it is firmly seated in the fiber port.
5.
Remove the dust plug and dust cap from the transceiver module and fiber connector,
respectively.
6.
Connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module.
LC connector—Align the connector with the transceiver module and push it into the
transceiver module slightly until it clicks into the place, as shown in Figure2-15.
MPO connector—Insert the MPO fiber connector horizontally into the transceiver module.
Push the MPO fiber connector into the transceiver module slightly until it clicks into the
place, as shown in Figure2-16.
7.
Use cable ties to bind optical fibers every 150 mm (5.91 in).
8.
Label optical fibers according to the cable labeling specifications.
