3.3.7.1 Optical Connections Without WDM System

Use the following procedure to connect the optical fibers when a WDM is not

installed.

255 Obtain two patch cords that are of sufficient length to reach from the Host to the

fiber distribution panel.

266 Designate one of the patch cords as the forward path link and the other as the

reverse path link and attach an identification label or tag next to the connector.

277 Remove the dust caps from the Host SeRF SFP optical ports and from the patch

cord connectors that will be connected to the SeRF SFP optical ports.

288 Clean each patch cord connector following the patch cord supplier’s

recommendations.

299 Connect the LC attenuator to the patch cord.

300 Plug the FWD and REV path patch cords to the corresponding transmit (FWD) and

receive (REV) connections depending on the remote node SFP position.

Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more

sharply than the

minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable

manufacturer. Do not apply more pulling force

to the cable than specified.
