Connecting OC12 POS Line Card Interface Cables
To continue your OC12 POS line card installation, you must connect the interface cables.
Note
Optical fiber cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial
cable vendors. (For more information on the cables you should use with this line card, see the
POS Line Card Optical Fiber Specifications” section on page 1-5
To connect cables to the OC12 POS line card, attach one duplex or two simplex optical fiber cables
between the OC12 interface port on your OC12 POS line card and your network.
Ensure that you observe the proper relationship of receive (RX) cable to RX SC-type receptacle and
transmit (TX) cable to TX SC-type receptacle on the OC12 POS line card.
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no
fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open
apertures.
Warning
Class 1 laser product.
