Interconnections and Cable Handling
Installing the ONS 15305 Fiber Cable
Caution
Static electricity can damage electronic equipment. While unpacking and handling
electronic modules, wear a grounding wrist strap to discharge the static buildup.
Grounding wrist straps are designed to prevent equipment damage caused by static
electricity. Before making the necessary interconnections, connect the grounding wrist
strap.
To install fiber-optic cables in the ONS 15305, connect a fiber cable with LC connector type to the
transmit and receive ports of the transmission system. On the ONS 15305 module, the transmit and
receive ports are located at the connector array of the unit. The receive port is named IN and the
transmit port is named OUT.
Cisco recommends that you label the transmit and receive fiber (before installation) to and from the
optical transmission system at each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that are similar
in appearance.
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.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not
stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Warning
Class 1 laser product.
Connecting the Fiber Cable
Step 1
Remove the dust plugs from the LC (STM-1) connectors.
Step 2
Clean and inspect the LC jumper cable connectors.
Step 3
Connect the LC module input and output to the fiber termination rack.
Step 4
Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 for the protection cable if applicable.
