6. Route the patch cords from the HU to the fiber distribution panel.
7. At the fiber distribution panel, identify the OSP cable optical fiber terminations that
correspond to the forward, reverse, and diversity reverse (if supported) paths.
8. Remove the dust caps from the OSP cable optical fiber adapters and from the patch cord
connectors.
9. Clean each patch cord connector (follow patch cord supplier’s recommendations) and then
mate the connector with the appropriate OSP cable adapter.
10. Store any excess patch cord slack at the fiber distribution panel.
4.8.2 Optical Connections With WDM System
Use the following procedure to connect the optical fibers when a WDM module is installed with
the HU:
1. Obtain a patch cord that is of sufficient length to reach from the WDM module to the fiber
distribution panel.
2. Remove the dust cap from the optical port (Port 1) on the WDM module and from the
patch cord connector that will be connected to the WDM module.
Note: The HU optical adapters are angled to the left. Therefore, always route patch cords
to the HU from the left side of the rack. Routing patch cords to the HU from the right may
exceed the bend radius limitations for the optical fiber.
