Dlp-B43 Install Fiber-Optic Cables For Path Protection Configurations - Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Manual

Chapter 1 Install Hardware
ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 cards have SC connectors and the OC-3 and G1000-2 cards have LC
Note
connectors. On ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 card ports, the left connector is the transmit port and the
right connector is the receive port.
Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving connector on the faceplate connection
Step 1
point. Each card supports at least one transmit and one receive connector to create an optical carrier port.
Gently insert the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the connector snaps into place.

Security Level
To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the highest slot in the shelf represents the east port, and
Note
the lowest slot represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the
west port on an adjacent node.
Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the
Note
procedure on page 14-20
connectors that are not used.
You can install the fiber immediately after installing the cards, or wait until you are ready to turn up the
Note
network. See
Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all path protection nodes.
Step 1
Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of
Step 2
the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display a
signal fail (SF) LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (for example, one fiber connects
a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card).

This task installs the fiber-optic cables to the east and west path protection
ports at each node. See
