Connecting Cables to the 3916
When connecting cables to the 3916, always make only one connection at a
time. Ciena recommends that cables be connected in the following order:
•
Fiber cables first
•
Ethernet cables last
In order for two devices to communicate properly, the transmit ports on the first
device must be connected to the receive ports of the second device.
Fiber Optic Cables
There are six ports on the 3916 that accept pluggable optics, Ports 1
through 6 on the faceplate of the unit. The SFP pluggables in the 3916 allow
you to select the port speed, wavelength, etc to match the device on the
terminating end. See
for more information about
the transceivers, and their installation.
Most SFP ports will require optical cables. You will need to know the
specification of the optic to select the appropriate cable.
Ethernet Cables
There are two types of ports on the 3916 that have RJ-45 jacks:
•
Console Port
•
10/100/1000 Mbps ports — these copper ports are located on the front
centre of the chassis. These are ports 1 and 2 in the system. Ports 1 and 2
are combo ports and there is both a copper and an SFP optic version for
the same port. Both ports can be cabled, however only one of the copper/
optic ports will be active at any time. The use of copper or optical for Ports
1 to 2 is controlled through the software. By default, the copper port is the
active port for the combo ports. Copper SFPs installed in these ports
support 1G.
Shielded cables are required to meet Class B emissions. Shield Ethernet
cables are required to meet GR-1089 Radiated Immunity, ESD and EN 55024
ESD requirements. Ciena recommends the use of Cat 5e shielded cables.
The shielded cables must be grounded at both ends.
To install an Ethernet cable, insert the connector into the port on the device
until you hear a clicking sound. Insert the tail end of the cable into the port on
the terminating device.
