Fiber-optic Cable
If you choose to make your own fiber-optic cables, consider the following:
• Fiber-optic Communication Cable Specifications
• Determine Optical Power Budget
You can determine the maximum optical-power budget in decibels (dB)
for a fiber-optic link by computing the difference between the minimum
transmitter-output optical power (dBm avg) and the lowest receiver
sensitivity (dBm avg).
The optical-power budget provides the necessary optical-signal range to
establish a working fiber-optic link. You must account for the cable lengths
and the corresponding link penalties. All penalties that affect the link
performance must be accounted for within the link optical power budget.
Step 4: Update Redundant
Chassis Firmware
Use ControlFLASH software to upgrade the firmware of each module in
each chassis.

IMPORTANT Apply power ONLY to the chassis containing modules on which you are
upgrading firmware.
Upgrade firmware on only one module at a time.
