Fiber description
Fibers
There are three different types of single-mode fiber used with the 1665 Data Multiplexer
(1665 DMX) system, simplex blue fiber, simplex yellow fiber, and the customer's fiber,
and two types of multi-mode fiber used with the 1665 DMX, multi-mode simplex gray
fiber and the customer's multi-mode fiber. Multi-mode fiber is only supported for use with
the LNW67 1GSX circuit pack.
Gray fiber
Gray fiber is made up of a multi-mode gray colored fiber equipped with LC connectors at
both ends.
The Gray Fibers come in different lengths as well as custom lengths. The length
is given on the protection boot of the LC connector.
These fibers are used to make connections from the circuit pack to the LGX. Installation is
covered in
Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , and Chapter 6 .
Yellow fiber
Yellow fiber is made up of a single-mode yellow colored fiber equipped with LC
connectors at both ends.
The Yellow Fibers come in different lengths as well as custom
lengths. The length is given on the protection boot of the LC connector.
These fibers are used to make connections from the circuit pack to the LGX. Installation is
covered in
Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , and Chapter 6 .
Outside fiber
Outside fiber is the fiber connecting the customer equipment to the 1665 DMX.
Depending on the customers specifications, these fibers may be any combination of SC,
FC, or ST connectors. The length of these fibers depends on the system interface setup.
This fiber is usually referred to as the
Outside Bay or Plant Fiber .
Outside Bay Fiber management should be specified by the customer. It is beyond the
scope of this document to specify the route or dressings that the fiber should take once it
leaves the equipment bays.
