Chapter 15: Connecting the Fiber-Optic Array Cables to the TX Matrix Plus Router
Each TXP-F13 SIB has 8 ports: 4 ports labeled
The following procedure assumes that you have labeled both ends of each fiber-optic
array cable that you plan to use and tested the TXP-F13 SIB fiber-optic array ports. We
recommend that you clean and test the fiber-optic array cables immediately before you
connect the cables to the ports on each TXP-F13 SIB. After you connect a cable, route it
into the cable management system before you connect another cable.
NOTE: Do not connect the fiber-optic array cables to the T1600 routers at
this time.
To connect the fiber-optic array cables to the fiber-optic array ports on a TXP-F13 SIB:
Disable the TXP-F13 SIB by pressing the

that will be connected to the TXP-F13 SIB.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect

the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Ensure that the TXP-F13 SIB fiber-optic array port corresponds to the label you

attached to the end of the cable.
Remove the dust cover from the fiber-optic array cable. Store the dust cover in a

dust-free resealable plastic bag.
Align the cable connector with the corresponding TXP-F13 SIB port, and carefully

press cable connector into the port until it stops. The cable connector and adapter
are keyed to ensure proper mating. On the even side, connect and route the cable

CAUTION: You must maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 in. (10.2 cm)
short term, and 3 in. (7.6 cm) long term.
Arrange the fiber-optic array cables so that they do not interfere with system airflow
