Fiber connections
General
1665 DMX uses AllWave ADVANTAGE ™ Lightguide Jumpers, part of Lucent’s AllWave
ADVANTAGE ™ Optical Connectivity Solution (OCS). These jumpers contain a boot
angled at 40 degrees, allowing the jumpers to dress appropriately into the fiber tray. The
angled boot eliminates projection outside the front of the shelf assembly.
All fiber connectors should be cleaned and inspected before assembling into connector
ports. Refer to
Appendix B, “Fiber cleaning” for Fiber Cleaning information. Dust caps
should be applied to all fiber connectors when not installed in a connector port.
LC-type connections
LC-type fiber connectors use a snap-action, lever-tab locking method to join the fiber
connector to the port connector.
Figure C-5 LC-Type Fiber Connector
The LC-type fiber connector is assembled onto an LC-type connector port of a circuit pack
or LC-type LBO by aligning the alignment key with the slot in the connector port and
pushing the connector into the port until it snaps into place.
The LC-type fiber connector is removed from a connector port by depressing the snap-
action lever to disengage the fiber connector.
