Caution
You must use a 19 to 24 dB (14 to 28 dB for 15454-OC192-LR2) (20 dB recommended) fiber attenuator
when connecting a fiber loopback to an OC192 LR/STM64 LH 1550 card. Never connect a direct fiber
loopback. Using fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the card. A transmit-to-receive (Tx-to-Rx)
connection that is not attenuated damages the receiver.
You can install OC192 LR/STM64 LH 1550 cards in Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13 and provision the card as a
drop or span card in a two-fiber or four-fiber BLSR, path protection, ADM (linear) configuration, or as
a regenerator for longer span reaches.
