Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines

Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines:
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see Electrostatic discharge prevention (page 24). GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are dust sensitive. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over the GBIC, SFP, or XFP optical bore. To clean contaminants from the optical bores of a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, use an alcohol swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector. Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
24 Safety and regulatory information
Electrostatic discharge prevention

To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor. Do not touch anyone who is not grounded. Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and use only a static-shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling. Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam because these materials carry static electricity that damages the equipment.
Care of ber optic equipment

Fiber optic equipment must be kept clean and damage-free. Use the information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber optic equipment.
Care of ber optic equipment navigation
Fiber optic cable care (page 24) Fiber optic connector care (page 25) Job aid: connector cleaning tools and materials (page 26) Cleaning single SC and FC connectors (page 26) Cleaning duplex SC connectors (page 27) Cleaning receptacles (page 27)
Fiber optic cable care

Although the glass fiber of fiber optic cable is protected with reinforcing material and plastic insulation, it is subject to damage. Use the following precautions to avoid damaging the glass fiber.
Do not kink, knot, or vigorously flex the cable. Do not bend the cable to less than a 40 mm radius. Do not stand on fiber optic cable; keep the cable off the floor. Do not pull fiber optic cable any harder than you would a cable containing copper wire of comparable size.
Care of fiber optic equipment
25
Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on any section of the cable. Place protective caps on fiber optic connectors that are not in use. Store unused fiber optic patch cables in a cabinet, on a cable rack, or flat on a shelf.
Frequent overstressing of fiber optic cable causes progressive degeneration that leads to failure. If you suspect damage to a fiber optic cable, either due to mishandling or an abnormally high error rate observed in one direction, reverse the cable pairs. If the high error rate appears in the other direction, replace the cable.
CAUTION
Rick of equipment damage
Do not crush fiber optic cable. If fiber optic cable is in the same tray or duct with large, heavy electrical cables, it can be damaged by the weight of the electrical cable.
Fiber optic connector care

Before connecting them to transmission equipment, test equipment, patch panels, or other connectors, clean all fiber optic connectors. The performance of an optical fiber connector depends on how clean the connector and coupling are at the time of connection. Use the following cleaning procedures when analyzing fiber connector integrity. If a connector performs poorly after cleaning, visually inspect the connector to determine the possible cause of the problem and to determine if it needs replacing.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury
Do not look into the end of fiber optic cable. The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage your eyes. To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when working with the canned air duster. To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl alcohol.
Perform the following maintenance procedures to ensure that optical fiber assemblies function properly. To prevent them from collecting dust, make sure connectors are covered when not in use.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
To prevent further contamination, clean fiber optic equipment only when there is evidence of contamination. To prevent contamination, make sure the optical ports of all active devices are covered with a dust cap or optical connector. To avoid the transfer of oil or other contaminants from your fingers to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors with care.
Job aid: connector cleaning tools and materials

You need the following tools and materials to clean fiber optic connectors.
Lint-free, nonabrasive wiping cloths Cotton swabs, with a tightly wrapped and talcum-free tip Optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) Canned compressed air with extension tube
CAUTION
To avoid contamination, optical ports should only be cleaned when there is evidence of contamination or reduced performance, or during their initial installation. To prevent oil contamination of connectors, do not use commercial compressed air or house compressed air in place of canned compressed air. Do not allow the air extension tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.
Cleaning single SC and FC connectors

Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the connector.
Procedure steps
Step 1 2 3
Action Remove dust or debris by applying canned air to the cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a pad or a wipe dampened with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a dry, lint-free tissue.
Care of fiber optic equipment
27
Dry the connector surfaces by applying canned air or letting them air dry. To prevent contamination, do not touch the connector surfaces after cleaning; and cover them with dust caps if you are not going to use them right away.
--End--
Cleaning duplex SC connectors

Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the connector.
Procedure steps
Step 1
Action To remove or retract the shroud, do one of the following.
On removable shroud connectors, hold the shroud on the top and bottom at the letter designation, apply medium pressure, and pull it free from the connector body. Do not discard the shroud. On retractable shroud connectors, hold the shroud in its retracted position.
2 3 4 5 6
Remove dust or debris from the ferrules and connector face with the canned air duster. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces of both ferrules using a wipe saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector with Texwipe cloth (or dry lint-free tissue). Blow dry the connector surfaces with canned air. Using care to not touch the clean ferrules, gently push the shroud back onto the connector until it seats and locks in place.
--End--
Cleaning receptacles
Clean connector receptacles or ports so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the connection.
28 Safety and regulatory information Procedure steps
Step 1 2
Action Remove dust or debris by blowing canned air into the optical port of the device using the canned air extension tube. Clean the optical port by inserting a small dry swab into the receptacle and rotating it. Each cleaning wand should only be used to clean one optical port.
Reconnect the optical connector and check for proper function. If problems persist, ensure that the connector and receptacle are not damaged.

Procedure job aid: SFP models with DDI support

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to monitor SFP laser operating characteristics. Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 support for Digital Diagnostic Interfaces (DDIan interface that supports DDM) involves data collection and alarm and warning monitoring. Static data collection includes the SFP vendor information, DDI support information, and DDI alarm and warning threshold values. Dynamic data collection includes temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, and receive power. DDM works at any time during active laser operation without affecting data traffic. The warning and alarm status bits are only checked during initialization and during requests for dynamic data. If an alarm or warning is asserted or cleared, a message is logged and a trap is generated. DDM warning and alarm messages are mapped into WARNING and FATAL message categories for system logging purposes. If an alarm or warning is generated, the software does not automatically shut down the port.
CWDM SFPs are also supported. CWDM SFPs are designed to support high-speed data communications. A CWDM system uses a grid of wavelengths to provide multiple channels for both ring and point-to-point configurations. All components are color-coded by wavelength. Any DDM SFP can be used in any Metro Ethernet Services Unit 1800 or 1850 device or Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module that supports SFPs. The optical functions of the SFP are supported. Access to the DDI information is only provided for:
Metro ESU 1850 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules 8630 and 8683
Access to DDI information is not supported for: Metro ESU 1800 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module 8668

The Nortel passive CWDM Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) sends and receives signals to and from CWDM GBICs and SFPs installed in the switch. It adds or drops a specific wavelength from the optical fiber, and allows all other wavelengths to pass through unaffected. The OADM supports tow separate fiber pathways traveling in opposite directions (east and west) so that the network remains viable even if the fiber is broken at one point on the ring.
Connecting an OMUX
Use this procedure to connect the OMUX to SFP or GBICs and to east and west backbone interfaces.
WARNING
Multiplexing together several GICs or SFPs can produce a radiant power level in the fiber that exceeds the class 1 laser limit. To avoid damage to yourself or to the equipment, take care that you follow proper connector safety and cleaning procedures.
Step 1 2 3
Action Insert the GBICs or SFPs into their respective modules. Clean all fiber optic connectors. Connect the fiber optic cables from the GBIC/SFP TX and RX to the OMUX Equipment RX and TX Equipment connectors. The GBIC or SFP wavelength must match the OMUX equipment connector wavelength. The TX of one device must always connect to the RX of the next device. Connect the network backbone east fiber optic cables to the east (left) OMUX.

Procedure job aid: optical multiplexer/demultiplexer

The Nortel passive optical multiplexer/demultiplexer (OMUX) sends and receives signals to/from GBIC and SFP transceivers installed in the switch. It multiplexes and demultiplexes four or eight CWDM wavelengths from a two-fiber (east and west) circuit. Use the OMUX to create unidirectional network traffic rings or point-to-point links.
Removing a multiplexer
OADMs and OMUXs require no power for their operation. You can remove them from the optical shelf after disconnecting them from your network. Step 1 2 3 4 Action Disconnect the network cabling from the multiplexer. Cover all receptacles and connectors with dust caps. Loosen the captive screws on both sides of the module. to release the module, gently pull on both screws at the same time. Slide the module out of the shelf.
