DLP-G315 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables From the 32WSS/32DMX and 32MUX-O/32DMX-O Cards to the Standard Patch Panel Tray
Note For a ROADM or hub node, two patch panels will be used, one for Side B side and one for Side A. The Side
B 32WSS/32DMX card will connect to the Side B patch panel. The Side A 32WSS/32DMX card will connect
to the Side A patch panel.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose either the Side B or Side A to cable the 32MUX-O and 32DMX-O cards (or the 32WSS and 32DMX
cards for a ROADM node).
Step 2
On the patch panel, pull up firmly on the two latches and use them to slide the patch panel up until it snaps
in place above the tray.

Step 3
At the 32WSS or 32MUX-O card in the node, plug the MPO connector of an MPO cable into the top Add
RX (30.3–36.6) port of the card. If you are connecting a subsequent MPO cable, plug the MPO connector
into the first vacant Add RX card port below the last MPO cable that was installed.
