Connecting the CWDM Passive Optical System to Your System
Connect the single-mode fiber-optic patch cable from the CWDM GBIC or CWDM SFP transceiver to
Step 4
the OADM module EQUIPMENT connector. Connect the Tx ports to the Rx ports and the Rx ports to
the Tx ports to ensure that the system operates correctly.

Note
If you use both channels of the module, repeat
Step 5
Connect the network west backbone single-mode fiber-optic cable to the NETWORK WEST connector
Step 6
on the OADM module, and connect the east backbone single-mode fiber-optic cable to the NETWORK
EAST connector on the OADM module.
Step 7
If you are planning to monitor your network with an optical power meter or an optical spectrum analyzer,
connect your meter or analyzer to the MONITOR port on the OADM.
Connecting Cables to the CWDM 4-Channel OADM Module
Note
Make sure that the CWDM GBIC or CWDM SFP transceiver color code matches the color of the OADM
port to which it is connected.
To connect the cables to the CWDM 4-channel OADM module, follow these steps (see
Insert the CWDM GBIC transceivers or CWDM SFP transceivers into the appropriate modules on your
Step 1
switch or router system if you have not already done so. For more information on installing CWDM
GBIC or CWDM SFP transceivers, refer to the Cisco CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP Installation Note.

If you are using CWDM SFP transceivers, use an LC-to-LC patch cable.
If you are using CWDM GBIC transceivers, you must use an SC-to-LC patch cable
(CAB-SM-LCSC-1M= or CAB-SM-LCSC-5M=).
CWDM GBIC transceivers are equipped with SC connectors. To make connections to the LC
connectors on the OADM modules, you must use an LC to SC patch cable (Cisco part number
CAB-SM-LCSC-1M= [1 meter cable], CAB-SM-=LCSC-5M= [5 meter cable], or an equivalent
patch cable).
Always use single-mode fiber-optic patch cables to connect the CWDM OADM ports to the
CWDM GBIC transceivers or CWDM SFP transceivers.
