3.5.3 Power supply
The device that supplies power to the optical network is 
the central control unit, refer to figure 3.1. The power 
that the central control unit supplies includes the power 
that the DCN uses.
If more power is necessary, you must install external 
power supplies in the optical network. The devices 
below can connect to external power supplies:
• LBB4410/00 Network Splitter (refer to the DCN 
Next Generation Installation and User Instructions).
• LBB4414/10 Fiber Interface (refer to the DCN Next 
Generation Installation and User Instruction).
3.5.4 Overload indication
Each optical network socket of the central control unit 
has a red LED that comes on to show that there is a 
power overload. An overload occurs when the 
necessary power for the devices is greater than that 
supplied. The sockets are deactivated and the devices 
connected to the central control unit do not operate. 
The socket checks every 8 seconds for power overloads.
3.6 Cabling
3.6.1 Introduction
Many devices in the optical network have two optical 
network sockets that are interchangeable. You can use 
the two optical network sockets to make a redundant 
ring.
3.6.2 Definitions
The optical network uses two types of cable:
• POF
Plastic Optical Fiber.
• GOF
Glass Optical Fiber.
