Connecting the EWDM Passive Optical System to Your System
Warning
Class 1M laser radiation when open. Do not view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1053
Connecting Cables for a Passive Application
Note
Make sure that the CWDM GBIC transceiver color code or CWDM SFP transceiver color code matches
the color code of the CWDM OADM port to which it is connected, and make sure that the DWDM
transceiver wavelength matches the wavelength label of the EWDM OADM port.
To connect cables for a non- boosted application, follow these steps (see
Figure 14
):
Step 1
Insert the transceivers into the appropriate modules on your switch or router system if you have not
already done so.
Note
Clean all fiber-optic plugs on the cables before inserting the plugs into the fiber-optic
connectors.
Note
Always use single-mode fiber-optic patch cables to connect the OADM ports to the transceivers.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do
not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments
(for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye
hazard.
