About this Guide
Audience
Audience
To use this publication, you should be familiar with Cisco or equivalent optical transmission hardware
and cabling, telecommunications hardware and cabling, electronic circuitry and wiring practices, and
preferably have experience as a telecommunications technician.
Document Organization
The organization of the guide reflects Cisco’s recommended work flow for new installations. This
organization also provides easy access to procedures and tasks used to modify existing installations.
Verification procedures are provided, where necessary, to allow contract vendors to complete the
physical installation and then turn over the site to craft personnel for verification, provisioning, turn up,
and acceptance.

List of Tasks
The information in the book follows a task-oriented hierarchy using the elements described below.
Chapter (Director Level)
The guide is divided into logical work groups (chapters) that serve as director entry into the procedures.
For example, if you are arriving on site after a contractor has installed the shelf hardware, proceed to
Chapter 2, “Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable” and begin verifying installation and installing cards.
You may proceed sequentially (recommended), or locate the work you want to perform from the list of
procedures on the first page of every chapter (or turn to the front matter or index).
Table 1 describes the
guide chapters.
