Chapter 3
Installing the shelf, OADM, and OMUX
The shelf and multiplexers are passive equipment and require no power or
electronic This chapter describes how to install optical routing components, and
includes the following topics.
• “Preparing for installation” next
• “Installing the shelf” on page 37
• “Inserting a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page 38
• “Removing a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page 44
• “Cabling a CWDM OADM or a CWDM OMUX” on page 39
Preparing for installation
Before installing the optical routing system, observe the following:
• “Exceeding class 1 power level warning” next
• “Environmental and physical requirements” on page 36
• “Electrostatic discharge” on page 36
• “Handling and cleaning fiber optic equipment” on page 49
Exceeding class 1 power level warning
Muxing together several CWDM GBICs can produce a radiant power level in the
fiber which exceeds the class 1 laser Limit. The warning in Figure 14 appears on
the CWDM OMUX.
