3-4 Fiber-Optic Cabling
3.5 Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable Between a UDC
Module and the PMI
Use the following procedure to connect a fiber-optic cable (P/N 613613-xxS) between
the UDC module and the PMI:
Step 1. Remove the dust cover caps from the fiber-optic ports on the UDC module
and the PMI. Clean the ports with a can of compressed air. Save the dust
caps. All fiber-optic connectors and ports, when not in use, should be
covered with dust cover caps.
Step 2. Remove the dust cover caps from the fiber-optic cable’s connectors. Use a
lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or a can of compressed air to
clean the cable’s connectors.
Step 3. Attach the cable’s connectors to the ports as shown in figure 3.2:
• UDC module XMT port: blue fiber-optic wire
• UDC module RCV port: orange fiber-optic wire
• PMI XMT port: orange fiber-optic wire
• PMI RCV port: blue fiber-optic wire
Note that the fiber-optic wires are color-coded. Typically, the wires are orange and
blue. The wires used in your installation may be of a different color but they should be
installed in the same manner as described here. Note that both of the fiber-optic wires
are the same.
Align the connector’s pin with the slot in the module’s port. See figure 3.3. Push the
connector onto the port. Turn the connector clockwise until it locks onto the port’s two
pins. Do not bend or kink the wire when you attach it to the port. Bending the wire
sharply could break the fiber inside.
Step 4. If the COMM OK LEDs do not light as described in section 4.1, follow the
troubleshooting procedures in that section.
!
ATTENTION: Do not damage the ends of the fiber-optic cable
connectors by touching or dropping them. Do not use
factory-compressed air to clean the fiber-optic ports or connectors
because the air may contain impurities that could scratch them. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in damage to or destruction of the
equipment.
!
ATTENTION: Turn off, lock out, and tag the power to both the rack
containing the UDC module and to its corresponding PMI hardware
before viewing the fiber-optic cable or transmitter under magnification.
Viewing a powered fiber-optic transmitter or connected cable under
magnification may result in damage to the eye. For additional information
refer to ANSI Publication Z136.1-1981. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in bodily injury.
