Step 4
Prepare the cable as follows:
a) Remove the protective cap from each end.
b) Inspect the plug for damage. If you find any damage, replace the
jumper.
c) Clean the plug using a standard cleaning kit. Be careful not to
contaminate the surfaces after cleaning.
Step 5
Connect the cable pair as follows:
a) Connect one fiber-optic cable to the client port marked “C-T”, this
cable will carry signals that are transmitted.
b) Connect one fiber-optic cable to the client port marked “C-R”, this
cable will carry signals that are received.
End of Procedure
Providing Network Side Connections
This section describes how to connect fiber-optic cables to the network ports of
the modules.
Connecting the other end of these cables to the network/dark fiber itself, must
wait until tests have been done to determine whether attenuators are necessary
or not. It is assumed that you are familiar with handling fiber-optic cables, and
are aware of the precautions that should be taken to avoid damage to them.
Procedure
For each network port in the Network Element, connect the network cables as
described in
. Proceed as described in
to
until you are about to connect the cables.
Then connect the cable pair as follows:
1
Connect one fiber-optic cable to the network port marked “N-T”, this cable
will carry signals that are transmitted.
2
Connect one fiber-optic cable to the network port marked “N-R”, this cable
will carry signals that are received.

Note
Before connecting the fibers to the network equipment: Ensure that
the maximum power levels are not exceeded. For details refer to the
relevant module specification in the
