Cabling the Optical (ATM) Line Cards

 

This chapter provides information physical interfaces and instructions for installing the cables on the Optical Line Card (OLC2).

This chapter includes the following sections:

•	Optical (ATM) Line Card Interfaces

•	Cabling the Optical SFP Interface

Optical (ATM) Line Card Interfaces

The OLC2 has four optical fiber interfaces (ports) that support IP or Broadband-SS7 over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). These ports connect our SGSN products via IuPS interfaces to other elements in the packet data network.

The type of optical fiber interface on the line card is dictated by the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver modules installed on the line card. The OLC2 supports two versions of SFP modules. SFP modules are hot-pluggable.

SFP Modules Supported by the OLC2 Optical (ATM) Line Card

Module Type	Card Identification	Interface Type	Cable Specifications

Important: Because of the optical SFP interface, this product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class 1 laser devices for IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.

The following figure shows the optical interface, labelled ATM/POS OC-3, for the optical (ATM) line card. Each SFP fiber interface is equipped with a transmit (TX) port and a receive (RX) port.

Cabling the Optical SFP Interface

To use the optical SFP interfaces on the OLC2 (ATM), follow the instructions below.

Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look into open apertures. Be sure to keep the cover on the interface when it is not in use. Laser Klasse 1 - nur speziell ausgebildetes Personal darf dieses Geraet warten. Nicht in den Laser schauen, um Augenverletzungen zu vermeiden. Nicht genutzte Buchsen mit der entsprechenden Kappe verschliessen.

Step 1

Remove the cover from the SFP interface.

Step 2

Insert the optical cable from a network device into the interface and ensure that it is securely in place.
