Connect a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box
For a CAP M powered by the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (PN 7693816-xx):
• connect the p
ower cable to the proprietary 4-pin, 36 to 60 Vdc Power connector on the CAP M, and
terminate the other end to the CAP M Hybrid Fiber Splice Box.
• Install
an SFP+ module of the desired type (same as used at the OPT Card port) into the OCTIS connector
before connecting the LC Fiber pigtail.
• connect the LC Fiber
Pigtail to the supplied OCTIS connector and splice the other end of the fiber pigtail
inside the locally-mounted CAP M Hybrid Fiber Splice Box. The LC Fiber Pigtail, which is not included with
the Fiber Splice Box for the
CAP M must be obtained separately.
