Installation and Networking Guidelines for Optical Routing
The shelf and multiplexers are passive equipment and require no power or
electronic This chapter describes how to install optical routing components, and
includes the following topics.
•“Preparing for installation” next
•“Installing the shelf” on page37
•“Inserting a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page38
•“Removing a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page44
•“Cabling a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page 39
Preparing for installation
Before installing the optical routing system, observe the following:
•“Exceeding class 1 power level warning” next
•“Environmental and physical requirements” on page36
•“Electrostatic discharge” on page36
•“Handling and cleaning fiber optic equipment” on page49
Exceeding class 1 power level warning
Muxing together several CWDM GBICs can produce a radiant power level in the
fiber which exceeds the class 1 laser Limit. The warning in Figure14 appears on
the CWDM OMUX.
