Fiber optic connectors are delicate and can be damaged
easily by dirt or debris on the end of the connector. Keep
fiber optic connectors free of dust and debris by cleaning
the connector before and after use. Carefully clean the fiber
optic connector and cable ends with a cotton swab dipped
in alcohol or an alcohol wipe. Keep safety cap on connec-
tors when not in use.
The Alcatel 2 or 4 fiber management panel (PN 3EM09257AB) and 2x4 fiber management
panel (PN 3EM09257AA) connections are described. For other fiber management equip-
ment, refer to the manufacturers instructions. See Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 for typi-
cal connections. Refer to Table 3-5 for recommended fiber optic jumpers.
3.11.1
2 or 4 Fiber Management Panel
The 2 or 4 fiber management panel provides a direct interface with customers 2 or 4 fiber
equipment. The two fibers on a non-standby radio or four fibers on a hot-standby radio con-
nect to the two or four fibers from the customers equipment. The 2 or 4 fiber configuration
requires the duplex adapter panel to route the fiber to/from the I/O interface modules. One
duplex adapter panel can accommodate two radio shelves. Customer fiber must have SC
type connectors
3.11.2
2x4 Fiber Switched Management Panel
The 2x4 fiber management panel interfaces the four fibers on a hot-standby shelf with cus-
tomer’s 2-fiber equipment. The 2x4 fiber configuration requires combiner/splitter units to
route the fiber to/from the I/O interface modules. One combiner/splitter unit per radio shelf
is required. The 2x4-fiber management panel has cutouts for two combiner/splitter units
and can accommodate two radio shelves.
