Fiber Optic Cable Installation

Overview
The 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node can accept a fiber optic cable connector from either the
right or left side of the housing, or both. The fiber optic cable(s) carries forward and
reverse optical signals.
This procedure assumes a specific type of connector as an example. Your connector
may be different from the one shown in these illustrations. Be sure to install the
connector according to the connector manufacturer's instructions.
Important: Fiber optic cable installation is a critical procedure. Incorrect installation
can result in severely degraded 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node performance. Be sure to
carefully follow fiber connector manufacturer's instructions. See Care and Cleaning
of Optical Connectors (on page 79).
Color Code
Fiber connectors and adapters are labeled with the following color code.
Note: This is only a suggested setup. Your fiber assignment may be different. Refer
