Chapter 3 Installing the shelf, OADM, and OMUX

Installation and Networking Guidelines for Optical Routing

Cabling a four-channel CWDM OMUX

This section describes how to cable the following:

•

CWDM GBIC to a CWDM OMUX-4 (

Figure 17

)

•

CWDM OMUX-4 to west and east network backbone interfaces (

Figure 17

)

To connect fiber optic cables to a CWDM OMUX-4:

Insert the wavelength-specific CWDM GBICs into their respective network
device(s). To install a CWDM GBIC, see Installing CWDM Gigabit Interface
Converters, part number 212256-B.

Clean all fiber optic connectors on the cabling (see

“Handling and cleaning

fiber optic equipment” on page 49

Connect the fiber optic cables from the CWDM GBIC TX and RX to the
CWDM OMUX-4 Equipment RX and TX equipment connectors (
