Nortel Networks 10292FA, 10396EA manual Cabling an eight-channel Cwdm Omux

42Chapter 3 Installing the shelf, OADM, and OMUX

Note: The CWDM GBIC wavelength must match the CWDM OMUX-4 equipment connector wavelength.

The TX of one device must always connect to the RX of the next device.

4Make the following network backbone connections (Figure 17):

•Connect the network backbone east fiber optic cables to the east (left) CWDM OMUX-4.

•Connect the network backbone west fiber optic cables to the west (right) CWDM OMUX-4.

Cabling an eight-channel CWDM OMUX

This section describes how to cable the following:

•CWDM GBIC to a CWDM OMUX-8 ( Figure 18)

•CWDM OMUX-8 to network backbone interfaces ( Figure 18)

Note: The CWDM OMUX-8 located on the left side of the chassis terminates the east network backbone connection. The CWDM OMUX-8 on the right side of the chassis terminates the west network backbone connection. See Figure 18.

To connect a CWDM OMUX-8:

1Install the CWDM GBICs (wavelength specific) into the network device(s). To install a CWDM GBIC, see Installing CWDM Gigabit Interface Converters, part number 212256-B.

2Clean all fiber optic connectors on the cabling (see “Handling and cleaning fiber optic equipment” on page 49 ).

3Connect the fiber optic cables from the CWDM GBIC TX and RX connectors to the CWDM OMUX-8 RX and TX connectors (Figure 18).

Note: The wavelength of the CWDM GBIC must match the wavelength of the CWDM OMUX-8 equipment connector.
