Safety Guidelines
This section provides safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions while handling the line card hardware:
•Before installing any line card or supervisor engine, inspect both the chassis and the line card connectors and verify that they are not damaged. If damage is present, do not insert the linecard(s) into the chassis. A case should be opened with Cisco TAC to further troubleshoot the problem.
•Take care to insert the linecard through the appropriate guides provided along the sides of the chassis. Failure to do can result in connector damage and a non-functional chassis.
•Verify that the module is properly aligned before inserting it gently into the chassis.

Limiting Connection Distances
The length of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example, fiber-optic cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling. The distance and rate limits in this chapter are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling. You can get good results with rates and distances greater than those described here, although you do so at your own risk. You need to be aware of the electrical problems that may arise and can compensate for them.
Determining Cable Distances
When preparing your site for network connections to the modules, you need to consider two factors for each type of interface:
•Type of cabling required for each interface
•Distance limitations for each interface
Note See Appendix B, "Cable Specifications," for connector pinouts for the modules.

Patch Cord
When using the long wavelength/long haul (LX/LH) GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 meters).
Note We do not recommend using the LX/LH GBIC and MMF without a patch cord for very short link distances (10 to 100 meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).
Note The patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. IEEE found that link distances could not be met with certain types of fiber-optic cable due to a problem in the center of some fiber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light from the laser at a precise offset from the center by using the patch cord. At the output of the patch cord, the LX/LH GBIC complies with the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-LX. For a detailed description of this problem, see the "Differential Mode Delay" section.
Note Cisco Gigabit Ethernet products have been tested and evaluated to comply with the standards listed in Appendix A, "Technical Specifications." Equivalent cables should also meet these standards.
Patch Cord Configuration Example
Figure 2-1 shows a typical patch cord configuration.
Figure 2-1 Patch Cord Configuration
Patch Cord Installation
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Plug the end of the patch cord labeled "To Equipment" into the GBIC. (See Figure 2-2.) Plug the end labeled "To Cable Plant" into the patch panel. The patch cord is 9.84 feet (3 meters) long and has duplex SC male connectors at each end.
Figure 2-2 Patch Cord Installation
Differential Mode Delay
When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on a single-mode fiber (SMF) cable is directly coupled to a multimode fiber (MMF) cable, differential mode delay (DMD) might occur. DMD can degrade the modal bandwidth of the fiber-optic cable. This degradation causes a decrease in the link span (the distance between the transmitter and the receiver) that can be reliably supported.
The Gigabit Ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3z) outlines parameters for Ethernet communications at a gigabit-per-second rate. The specification offers a higher-speed version of Ethernet for backbone and server connectivity using existing deployed MMF cable by defining the use of laser-based optical components to propagate data over MMF cable.
Lasers function at the baud rates and longer distances required for Gigabit Ethernet. The 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet Task Force has identified the DMD condition that occurs with particular combinations of lasers and MMF cable. The results create an additional element of jitter that can limit the reach of Gigabit Ethernet over MMF cable.
With DMD, a single laser light pulse excites a few modes equally within an MMF cable. These modes, or light pathways, then follow two or more different paths. These paths might have different lengths and transmission delays as the light travels through the cable. With DMD, a distinct pulse propagating down the cable no longer remains a distinct pulse or, in extreme cases, might become two independent pulses. Strings of pulses can interfere with each other making it difficult to recover data.
DMD does not occur in all deployed fibers; it occurs with certain combinations of worst-case fibers and worst-case transceivers. Gigabit Ethernet experiences this problem because of its very high baud rate and its long MMF cable lengths. SMF cable and copper cable are not affected by DMD.
MMF cable has been tested for use only with LED sources. LEDs can create an overfilled launch condition within the fiber-optic cable. The overfilled launch condition describes the way LED transmitters couple light into the fiber-optic cable in a broad spread of modes. Similar to a light bulb radiating light into a dark room, the generated light that shines in multiple directions can overfill the existing cable space and excite a large number of modes. (See Figure 2-3.)
Figure 2-3 LED Transmission Compared to Laser Transmission
Lasers launch light in a more concentrated fashion. A laser transmitter couples light into only a fraction of the existing modes or optical pathways present in the fiber-optic cable. (See Figure 2-3.)
The solution is to condition the laser light launched from the source (transmitter) so it spreads the light evenly across the diameter of the fiber-optic cable making the launch look more like an LED source to the cable. The objective is to scramble the modes of light to distribute the power more equally in all modes and prevent the light from being concentrated in just a few modes.
An unconditioned launch, in the worst case, might concentrate all of its light in the center of the fiber-optic cable, exciting only two or more modes equally.
A significant variation in the amount of DMD is produced from one MMF cable to the next. No reasonable test can be performed to survey an installed cable plant to assess the effect of DMD. Therefore, you must use the mode-conditioning patch cords for all uplink modules using MMF when the link span exceeds 984 feet (300 meters). For link spans less than 300 meters, you can omit the patch cord (although there is no problem using it on short links).
Note For link spans less than 984 feet (300 meters), you can omit the patch cord. (We do not recommend using the LX/LH GBIC and MMF without a patch cord for very short link distances less than 100 meters. The result could be an elevated bit error rate [BER].)
Supervisor Engine Console Port Cabling Specifications
This section describes the port cabling specifications for the supervisor engine.
Note The accessory kit that shipped with your Cisco 7600 series routers contain the necessary cable and adapters to connect a terminal or modem to the front-panel console port of the supervisor engine. These cables and adapters are the same as those shipped with the Cisco 2500 series routers and other Cisco products.
The supervisor engine front-panel console port mode switch allows you to connect a terminal or modem to the console port using the cable and adapters provided, or you can connect your terminal using a Catalyst 5000 family Supervisor Engine III cable (not provided).
Table 2-6 lists the maximum transmission distances for console port cables.
See Appendix B, "Cable Specifications" for console port and cable pinout information.
