Figure 5-10 Optical Isolator Connection Scenario
To connect the optical isolator, follow these guidelines:
• The optical connector coming out of a WCM is MUPC type. Cisco stocks
fiber jumpers that use an MU-to-SC type connection. This is the standard
jumper configuration. However, the isolator can be used with a number of
different connector types, if needed.
• The fiber jumper coming out of the WCM is connected to the fiber attached
to the optical isolator. For example, two SC connectors are connected.
• The fiber on the other side of the optical isolator is connected to the trunk or
remote fiber. For example, two SC connectors are connected.
