Attaching PA-POS-OC3 Fiber Cables

Attaching PA-POS-OC3 Fiber Cables

To continue your PA-POS-OC3 port adapter installation, you must attach the port adapter 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 "PA-POS-OC3 Optical Fiber Specifications" section.)

To connect cables to the PA-POS-OC3, attach either one duplex optical fiber cable or two simplex optical fiber cables between the PA-POS-OC3 interface port on your PA-POS-OC3 and your network. (See Figure 7-1.)

Note Ensure that you observe the proper relationship of receive (RX) cable to RX SC-type receptacle and transmit (TX) cable to TX SC-type receptacle on the PA-POS-OC3.

The single-mode aperture port contains a Class 1 laser warning label, as shown in Figure 2-1 in the "Preparing for Installation" section. The multimode aperture port contains a Class 1 LED warning label, as shown in Figure 2-2 in the "Preparing for Installation" section.

This completes the procedure for replacing a fiber cable on the PA-POS-OC3.
