Installing CAP Ms
Connect the CAP M to a Classic CAN or TEN
Connect the CAP M Optical Port 1 as appropriate for this installation. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 11.
1 Remove the
dust cap from the CAP M Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
2 Foll
ow the local cleaning technique to clean the optical port for each SFP+ Module.
3 C
lean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
4 Install the SFP+ connecto
r and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the SMF or MMF that will connect to the
CAP M, and then connect that end of the fiber to the CAP M Optical Port 1 connector. (Refer to the
tech
nical data sheet that ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
5 Use the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of t
he SMF or MMF to an open port on the OPT Card.
If installing a CAP M with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (PN 7693816-xx), the optical fiber will be hanging from
the Splice Box.
Connect a Secondary CAP M (Optional)
If appropriate for this installation, connect the Optical Port 2 connector. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 11 on page 51.
1 Rai
se the lever on the EMI/IP67 cap on Optical Port 2 connector and remove the cap.
2 Remove
the caps from the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
3 Foll
ow the local cleaning technique to clean the optical port for each SFP+ Module.
4 C
lean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
5 Install the SFP+ and Optical
OCTIS Kit on the end of the fiber that will connect to the CAP M and connect
that end of the SMF or MMF to the CAP M Optical Port 2 connector. (Refer to the
technical data sheet that
ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
6 Use an
other OCTIS Kit and the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of the SMF or MMF to Optical
Port 1 on the cascaded CAP M.
Connect an External Ethernet Device (Optional)
If you are not connecting an Ethernet device, do not remove the plug from Port A.
If connecting an Ethernet device to a cascaded pair, this
must be the Primary Fiber CAP M.
1 Read
and follow the rules in "Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices” on page 18.
2 Raise the lever on the EMI/IP67
cap on the Port A connector, and then remove the connector’s plug.
3 Foll
ow the local cleaning technique to clean Port A.
