Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to an NFX150 Device
You can connect fiber-optic cables to the field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers
installed in NFX150 devices.
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an NFX150
device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers
(see
“Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the NFX150 Devices” on page 129 ).
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an NFX150 device:
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
1.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.
Save the cap.
2.
If the optical transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the
cap.
3.
Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see Figure 38 on page 83 ).
4.
Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain
their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend
radius. Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage
the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
