Cabling Gigabit Ethernet SpectraFlow and POS SpectraFlow Modules 107
Cabling Gigabit Ethernet SpectraFlow and POS
SpectraFlow Modules
The system supports a CableOnce setup for fiber modules, including the
Gigabit Ethernet module, and all POS modules. Instead of cabling directly to
the module, attach the cable to the fiber module backplate that contains a
single blind-mate fiber port. This allows you to remove and replace the
module without having to recable it.
The cabling procedure for both Gigabit Ethernet and POS modules are the
same. Both require installation of a fiber module backplate and use a cable
provided by ADC to connect to the network.
The procedure in this section assumes:
You have selected the slot in which to install the Gigabit Ethernet or POS
module, as described in “Determining Module Location” on page 77.
You have installed a fiber module backplate on the back of the selected
slot as described in “Backplates” on page 83.
Slot 1 does not accept Gigabit Ethernet or POS modules.
Use the following procedure to cable a slot for connection to a POS or
Gigabit Ethernet module:
1. Insert the AMP MPX connector on the fiber cable into the single port on
the fiber module backplate, as shown in Figure 5-10.
