Module Installation
Routing Optical Cables
Before connecting fiber optic cables, you may need to route the fiber to the
module. Use the tools and procedures in this section to route fiber as needed.
Fiber Fish Tool
WARNING:
Unterminated fiber cables and connectors may emit invisible laser radiation.
Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable is
terminated before "fishing."
The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull
an optical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the
optical cables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of the
modules.
The Fiber Fish Tool Hook
At the end of the Fiber Fish tool is a small hook that allows you to hold an
optical cable so that you can pull it through to the front panel of chassis.
To Pull the Optical Cable to the Module
Insert the Fiber Fish tool through the slot located just above the bottom of
1
the chassis.
At the rear of the chassis, locate the appropriate optical cable.
