Juniper Networks M160 manual Installing a PIC Cable

M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.

4.Remove the cable from the cable management system and detach it from the destination port.

Installing a PIC Cable

To install a PIC cable, follow this procedure (see Figure 95):

1.Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the PIC. For cable specifications, see the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide.

2.If the PIC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.

WARNING: Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or into the transceivers on the interface faceplate. Single-mode fiber-optic cable and the interfaces that use it (such as ATM and SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.

3.Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the PIC faceplate.

4.Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.

CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
