Connect the CAP MX to a Classic CAN or TEN
Connect the CAP MX Optical Port 1 as appropriate for this installation. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 11 .
1
Remove the dust cap from the CAP MX Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
2
Follow the local cleaning technique to clean the optical port for each SFP+ Module.
3
Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
4
Install the SFP+ connector and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the SMF or MMF that will connect to the
CAP MX, and then connect that end of the fiber to the CAP MX Optical Port 1 connector. (Refer to the
technical data sheet that ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
5
Use the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of the SMF or MMF to an open port on the OPT Card.
Connect a Secondary CAP MX (Optional)
If appropriate for this installation, connect the Optical Port 2 connector. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 11 on page 53 .

5
Install the SFP+ and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the fiber that will connect to the CAP MX and connect
that end of the SMF or MMF to the CAP MX Optical Port 2 connector. (Refer to the technical data sheet that
ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
6
Use another OCTIS Kit and the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of the SMF or MMF to Optical
Port 1 on the cascaded CAP MX.
Connect an External Ethernet Device (Optional)
If connecting an Ethernet device to a cascaded pair, this must be the Primary Fiber CAP MX.
1
Read and follow the rules in "Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices” on page 21 .
2
Raise the lever on the EMI/IP67 cap on the Port A connector, and then remove the connector’s plug.
3
