Connecting PA-POS-1OC3 Interface Cables
To continue your PA-POS-1OC3 installation, you must connect the interface cables. The instructions
that follow apply to all supported platforms.
Note Optical fiber cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial
cable vendors. For more information on the cables you should use with this port adapter, see the “Cables
and Connectors” section on page 1-7.
Note We strongly recommend cleaning any optical-fiber connectors before making new connections to
optical-fiber equipment. For more information, see the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for
Fiber-Optic Connections document at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml,
and the Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk611/technologies_white_paper09186a00801b08da.shtml
To connect the cables to the PA-POS-1OC3, attach either one duplex optical fiber cable or two simplex
optical fiber cables between the PA-POS-1OC3 interface port on your PA-POS-1OC3 and your network.
(See Figure 3-3.)
Make sure that the receive (RX) cable goes to the RX LC-type receptacle and transmit (TX) cable goes
to the TX LC-type receptacle on the PA-POS-1OC3.
