Safety Recommendations
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
•Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
•Place the removed chassis cover in a safe place.
•Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could fall over them.
•Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
•Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes equipment unsafe.
Safety with Electricity
|
Warning Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Statement 1037
|
|
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
|
|
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
|
|
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1021
|
|
Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
|
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power off.
•Before working on the router, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
•Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–Installing or removing a router chassis
–Working near power supplies
–Performing most hardware upgrades
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–Turn off power to the router.
–If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.
–Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled, and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, you must use the wrist strap and cord properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Caution
Before opening the chassis, be sure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body and the power is off.

10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. These ports use the hot-swappable X2 optical transceivers. The X2s have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For further information on X2s, see the "X2 Handling Guidelines and Installation" section.
When two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R switch, the 10GE uplink ports on both of the X2 uplinks are active, one on the primary (active) and one on the secondary (standby) supervisor engine (the two left-most ports,1/1 and 2/1). Both uplinks will be active in a nonredundant configuration.
Gigabit Ethernet SFP Uplink Ports
The four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. These ports use the 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, CWDM, and DWDM small form-factor pluggables (SFPs). The SFPs have LC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For further information on SFPs, see the "SFP Guidelines" section.
When two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R switch, a total of four SFP uplinks are active, two on the primary (active) and two on the secondary (standby) supervisor engine (the left-most ports, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, and 2/4). All four ports are available on a single supervisor in a nonredundant configuration.
Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port can be used (in ROMMON mode only) to recover a switch software image that has been corrupted or destroyed due to a network catastrophe. When using Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG or later, this port can also perform the same functions as the console port. For earlier Cisco IOS software releases, this port is not active while the switch is operating normally.
Console Port
The Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE console port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. The console port enables you to perform the following tasks:
•Configure the switch from the CLI
•Monitor network statistics and errors
•Configure SNMP agent parameters
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
Reset Button
The Reset button is used to restart the switch.
Note Use a paper clip or other small, pointed object to press the Reset button.
Flash Port
The Flash port accepts a Type 1 compact Flash card. You can use it for file transfer tasks such as loading a new software image. The Flash card is optional and can be obtained from Cisco resellers.
For more information, refer to Using the Compact Flash on the Catalyst 4000 Family Supervisor Engine III and IV at the following URL:

Installing and Removing the Supervisor Engine
All Catalyst 4500 series switches support hot swapping, which lets you install, remove, replace, and rearrange supervisor engines and switching modules without powering off the system. When the system detects that a switching module has been installed or removed, it runs diagnostic and discovery routines automatically, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation with no operator intervention.
This section contains the following subsections:
•Required Tools
•Installing the Supervisor Engine
•Removing the Supervisor Engine
Required Tools
You will need these tools to install a supervisor engine in a Catalyst 4500 series switch:
•Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers for the captive installation screws on most modules
•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on other modules
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
•Wrist strap or other grounding device
Note Whenever you handle supervisor engines, use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent ESD damage.
Installing the Supervisor Engine
Catalyst 4500 series switches have horizontal chassis slots that are numbered from top to bottom. On the Catalyst 4503, and Catalyst 4506 switches, you can only install the supervisor engine in slot 1. On the Catalyst 4507R switch, install the primary supervisor engine in slot 1. You can install an optional redundant supervisor engine in slot 2.
|
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
|
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle supervisor engines by the carrier edges only.
To install a supervisor engine in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage.
Step 2 Ensure that you have enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the supervisor engine ports.
Step 3 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching-module filler plate or the existing supervisor engine (whichever is present), and remove it.
Step 4 Remove the supervisor engine filler plate or the existing supervisor engine from slot 1. If a switching module filler plate was installed, save it for future use. If you are removing an existing supervisor engine, see the "Removing the Supervisor Engine" section.
Step 5 To install the new supervisor engine, grasp the switching module front panel with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the supervisor engine, as shown in Figure 2. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 6 Align the edges of the supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Installing the Supervisor Engine in the Chassis
Step 7 Pivot the two module ejector levers out and away from the faceplate.
Step 8 Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides.
Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers to fully seat the supervisor engine in the backplane connector.
Caution
Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing a supervisor engine. A supervisor engine that is partially seated in the backplane will not function correctly.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on each end of the supervisor engine faceplate.
To check the status of the module, perform these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the LED labeled Status is green (module operational).
Step 2 When the switch is online, enter the show module command. Verify that the system acknowledges the new module and that the module status is good.
Step 3 If the module is not operational, reseat it. If the module is still not operational, contact your customer service representative.

Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle supervisor engines by the carrier edges only.
To remove a supervisor engine from a Catalyst 4500 series switch, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the ports on the supervisor engine that you intend to remove.
Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Captive Installation Screws and Ejector Levers
Step 3 Grasp the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to release the supervisor engine from the backplane connector. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the right ejector lever.
Step 4 Grasp the front panel of the supervisor engine with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 5 Carefully pull the supervisor engine straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.
Step 6 Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.
|
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
|
Step 7 If the slot is to remain empty, install a switching-module filler plate (part number 800-00292-01).
Memory Upgrade
This section describes how to perform a memory upgrade. You might need to upgrade memory on the Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE for the following reasons:
•To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)
•To use very memory-intensive features.
This document describes how to upgrade dynamic memory. The Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE ships with 256 MB and can be upgraded to 512 MB in the form of an SDRAM SODIMM.
Tools and Equipment Needed
You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install SODIMMs in a Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE:
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•Small flat-blade screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
•Antistatic mat
Performing the Memory Upgrade
This procedure presumes you have already removed the supervisor engine from the switch, as described in the "Removing the Supervisor Engine" section. To upgrade the memory:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.
Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the DIMM module. (See Figure 4.)
Figure 4 Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE (WS-X4013+10GE)
Caution
Handle the SODIMM by the edges only; do not touch the memory modules, pins, or traces (metal fingers along the connector edge). Handle carefully. SODIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 3 Release the metal clips from the SODIMM, which releases the SODIMM from its socket. (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5 Removing and Installing SDRAM SODIMMs in the Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GE
Step 4 When both ends of the SODIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SODIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull it completely out of the socket. Place it in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 5 Proceed to the "Installing SDRAM SODIMMs" section.
Installing SDRAM SODIMMs
To install SDRAM SODIMMs, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.
Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM SODIMM socket. (See Figure 4.)
Caution
Handle the SODIMM by the edges only; do not touch the memory modules, pins, or traces (metal fingers along the connector edge). Handle carefully. SODIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 3 Hold the SODIMM component-side up, with connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. Keep the sides of the SODIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far edge and opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 6.)
Figure 6 Handling a SODIMM
Step 4 Tilt the SODIMM to the same angle as the socket, then insert the connector edge into the socket. Gently push into place until the metal clips snap into place.
Caution
It is normal to feel some resistance when installing a SODIMM, but do not use excessive force and do not touch the surface components.
Step 5 Check the two alignment holds and ensure that the metal clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove and reseat the SODIMM.
Step 6 Replace the supervisor engine in the switch as described in the "Installing the Supervisor Engine" section.
Attaching Module Interface Cables
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the connector types used to attach interface cables to the supervisor engine.
Figure 7 RJ-45 Connector
Note Always keep caps and plugs on the fiber-optic connectors on the cable and the switch when they are not in use.
|
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
|
SC Connector
The SC connector, shown in Figure 8, is used to connect fiber-optic module ports or transceivers with the external SMF or MMF network.
|
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
|
Note Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.
Figure 8 SC-Type Fiber-Optic Connector
Always insert the network connector completely into the socket. A secure connection is especially important when you are establishing a connection between a module and a long distance (1.24 miles) (2 km) network or a module and a suspected highly attenuated network. If the link LED does not light, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket. It is possible that dirt or skin oils have accumulated on the plug faceplate (around the optical-fiber openings), generating significant attenuation and reducing the optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be made.
Caution
Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
LC Connector

The LC fiber-optic connector, shown in Figure 9, is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector that provides high density fiber connectivity. The LC connector can be used with either MMF cable or SMF cable. The LC connector uses a latching clip mechanism that is similar to the one used on the RJ-45 copper connector.
Note Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.

This section describes the following topics:
•Installing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
•Removing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
•X2 Transceiver Maintenance Guidelines
Installing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver module that you receive can have either a spring-loaded latch sleeve or a latch sleeve that is not spring loaded. Both transceiver types are functionally identical.
Note This installation procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.
Caution
The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with system modules.
To install an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, carefully pry the X2 transceiver port cover off of the system module faceplate.
Use the two arrows on the port cover as guides for inserting the screwdriver blade. Save the port cover for future use.
Step 2 Remove the X2 transceiver from its protective packaging.
Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
Step 3 Check the label on the X2 transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
Step 4 To install the X2 transceiver, do the following:
a. Insert the X2 transceiver into the transceiver socket on the system module front panel. (See Figure 11, top view.) Continue sliding the X2 transceiver into the socket until the X2 transceiver EMI gasket is flush against the system module faceplate. The X2 transceiver connector is now mated to the socket connector.
b. Verify that the X2 transceiver latches are fully engaged and secure by sliding the transceiver latching sleeve toward the system module faceplate. (See Figure 11, bottom view.)
Caution
If the latches are not fully engaged, you may accidently disconnect the X2 transceiver.
Figure 11 Installing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Note 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Step 5 If you are cabling an optical X2 transceiver, perform the following substeps. If you are cabling a CX4 X2 transceiver, go to step 6.
Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:
•Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
•Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections. Refer to the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
•Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
a. Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.
b. Inspect and clean the SC connector's fiber-optic end-faces. Refer to the Tip below for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white-paper document at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
c. Remove the dust plugs from the X2 transceiver module optical bores.
d. Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connectors to the X2 transceiver module. (See Figure 12 for cabling an optical X2 transceiver module.)
Figure 12 Cabling an Optical 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Step 6 Plug the InfiniBand cable connector into the CX4 X2 transceiver connector. (See Figure 13.) Make sure that the InfiniBand cable connector is aligned with the X2 transceiver.
Figure 13 Cabling a CX4 (Copper) 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Step 7 Carefully route the InfiniBand network cable through the cable management brackets on your system. Figure 14 shows how the Infiniband cable should be routed through either a horizontal cable management bracket or a vertical cable management bracket to provide adequate strain relief and support to prevent connector sag or skew.
Note Make sure that you route the InfiniBand cable through cable management brackets to provide adequate strain relief and cable support when cabling CX4 X2 transceivers. The InfiniBand cable is heavy. Without proper support, the InfiniBand cable can cause the cable connector to sag or skew. Misalignment between the cable connector and the transceiver connector can cause intermittant connections between the cable connector pins and the CX4 X2 transceiver pins.
Figure 14 InfiniBand Cable Support
Removing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Note This removal procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.
Caution
The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with modules.
If you are removing an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect the network interface cable from the X2 transceiver connectors. If this is an optical X2 transceiver, immediately reinstall the dust plugs in the X2 transceiver optical bores and the fiber-optic cable SC connectors.
Step 2 Grip the sides of the X2 transceiver latching sleeve with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the latching sleeve out to release the X2 transceiver from the socket connector. (See Figure 15, top view.)
Step 3 Slide the X2 transceiver out of the socket. (See Figure 15, bottom view.) Immediately place the X2 transceiver in an antistatic bag.
Step 4 Reinstall the socket cover if you are not installing an X2 transceiver in the empty socket.
a. Position the socket cover in front of the socket opening.
b. Snap the socket cover in place.
Figure 15 Removing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver
X2 Transceiver Maintenance Guidelines
To properly maintain X2 transceivers, follow these guidelines:
•To prevent ESD damage, follow normal handling procedures.
•When the transceiver is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep plugs in the optical bores.
•The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.

SFP Guidelines
SFP modules are hot-pluggable and field-replaceable, and you can insert them into the four SFP module slots on the front panel of the Supervisor Engine V-10GE. You can use the SFP modules for connections to other network devices.
You can use any combination of supported SFP modules. Use only Cisco SFP modules on your Cisco device. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the SFP module meets the requirements for the device.
The following SFP media types are supported:
•1000BASE-SX (GLC-SX-MM)
•1000BASE-LX/LH (GLC-LH-SM)
•1000BASE-ZX (GLC-ZX-SM)
•1000BASE-T (GLC-T)
•CWDM (CWDM-SFP-xxxx)
Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 10 km over SMF cable instead of the 5 km specified in the standard.
If an LX/LH SFP designed for operation on an SMF cable is directly coupled to an MMF cable, an effect known as Differential Mode Delay (DMD) might occur. See the Catalyst 4000 Family Module Installation Guide for more information.
This section describes the following topics:
•Fiber-Optic SFP Modules
•1000BASE-T SFP Modules
•CWDM SFPs
Fiber-Optic SFP Modules
Some fiber-optic SFP modules use LC-type connectors, as shown in Figure 16.
Caution
Protect your fiber-optic SFP modules by inserting clean dust plugs into the SFP modules after you remove the cables. Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber-optic cables with a soft antistatic cloth before you reconnect them to another SFP module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.

Note When using shorter distances of single-mode fiber cable, you might need to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link.
Fiber-optic SFP modules also use MT-RJ connectors, as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17 MT-RJ Fiber-Optic SFP Module
1000BASE-T SFP Modules
Copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules use RJ-45 connectors, as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18 1000BASE-T Copper SFP Module
1000BASE-T copper SFP modules used with the Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine II-Plus operate only in 1000BASE-T mode, or at 1000 Mbps. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 cable at lengths up to 328.08 feet (100 meters).
CWDM SFPs
You can connect the CWDM SFPs to CWDM passive optical system optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) or multiplexer/demultiplexer plug-in modules using single-mode fiber-optic cables with standard SC connectors. Figure 19 shows a CWDM SFP with the optical port dust plug removed. Figure 8 shows an SC-type connector.
Figure 19 CWDM SFP Module (Yellow-Coded CWDM-SFP-1550= Shown)
Figure 20 SC-Type Fiber-Optic Connector
CWDM SFPs come in eight wavelengths that range from 1470 nm to 1610 nm. Color markings on the devices identify the wavelength to which the Gigabit Ethernet channel is mapped. Table 6 lists the CWDM SFPs with their wavelengths and color codes.

Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors
Fiber-optic connectors are used to connect two fibers together. When these connectors are used in a communications system, proper connection becomes a critical factor.
Fiber-optic cable connectors can be damaged by improper cleaning and connection procedures. Dirty or damaged fiber-optic connectors can result in communication that is not repeatable or inaccurate.
Fiber-optic connectors differ from electrical or microwave connectors. In a fiber-optic system, light is transmitted through an extremely small fiber core. Because fiber cores are often 62.5 microns or less in diameter, and dust particles range from a tenth of a micron to several microns in diameter, dust and any contamination at the end of the fiber core can degrade the performance of the connector interface where the two cores meet. Therefore, the connector must be precisely aligned, and the connector interface must be absolutely free of trapped foreign material.
Connector loss, or insertion loss, is a critical performance characteristic of a fiber-optic connector. Return loss is also an important factor. Return loss specifies the amount of reflected light; the lower the reflection, the better the connection. The best physical contact connectors have return losses greater than -40 dB, although -20 to -30 dB is more common.
The connection quality depends on two factors: the type of connector and the proper cleaning and connection techniques. Dirty fiber connectors are a common source of light loss. Keep the connectors clean at all times, and keep the dust covers installed when the connectors are not in use.
Before installing any type of cable or connector, use a lint-free alcohol pad from a cleaning kit to clean the ferrule, the protective white tube around the fiber, and the end-face surface of the fiber.
As a general rule, whenever there is a significant, unexplained loss of light, clean the connectors.
Caution
Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
To clean the optical connectors, use a CLETOP cassette cleaner (type A for SC connectors or type B for MT-RJ connectors) and follow the product directions. If a CLETOP cassette cleaner is not available, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a lint-free tissue soaked in 99 percent pure isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the faceplate. Wait five seconds for the surfaces to dry, and repeat.
Step 2 Remove any residual dust from the faceplate with clean, dry, oil-free compressed air.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
|
Step 3 Use a magnifying glass or inspection microscope to inspect the ferrule at an angle. Do not look directly into the aperture. Repeat the process if any contamination is detected.
The connectors used inside the system have been cleaned by the manufacturer and connected to the adapters in the proper manner. The operation of the system should be error free if the customer provides clean connectors on the application side, follows the previous directions, and follows these guidelines:
•Clean the connectors using either a CLETOP cassette cleaner (Type A for SC connectors and Type B for MT-RJ connectors) or lens tissues before connecting to the adapters. Use pure alcohol to remove contamination.
•Do not clean the inside of the connector adapters.
•Do not use force or quick movements when connecting the fiber-optic connectors in the adapters.
•Cover the connectors and adapters to keep the inside of the adapters or the surface of the connectors from getting dirty when you are not using the connectors or while you are cleaning the chassis.
