The operating voltage range is 48V to 60VDC, 12A maximum.
Port Connection Guidelines
Depending on the chassis, you can use Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+), QSFP28, SFP,
SFP+, and RJ45 connectors to connect the ports on the line cards to other network devices.
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, we recommend that you keep the transceivers disconnected from
their fiber-optic cables when installing the transceiver in the line card. Before removing a transceiver from
the router, remove the cable from the transceiver.
To maximize the effectiveness and life of your transceivers and optical cables, do the following:
• Wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that is connected to an earth ground whenever handling transceivers.
• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and insertions
• Keep the transceivers and fiber-optic cables clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and to
• Inspect routinely for dust and damage. If you suspect damage, clean and then inspect fiber ends under a
Connect to the Console Port
• The router must be fully installed in its rack, connected to a power source, and grounded.
• The necessary cabling for the console, management, and network connections must be available.
Before you create a network management connection for the router or connect the router to the network, you
must create a local management connection through a console terminal and configure an IP address for the
router. You also can use the console to perform the following functions (each of which can be performed
through the management interface after you make that connection):
• Configure the router using the command-line interface (CLI).
The router is typically grounded during installation and provides an ESD port to which you can connect
your wrist strap.
can shorten its useful life.
prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should
be kept below 0.35 dB.
• Clean these parts before installation to prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.
• Clean the connectors regularly; the required frequency for cleaning depends upon the environment.
In addition, clean connectors when they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and
dry cleaning techniques can be effective; refer to your site's fiber-optic connection cleaning
procedures.
• Do not touch the ends of connectors. Touching the ends can leave fingerprints and cause other
contamination.
microscope to determine if damage has occurred.
• An RJ45 rollover cable and DB9F/RJ45 adapter are provided in the router accessory kit.
• Network cabling should already be routed to the location of the installed router.
