Safety Recommendations

To prevent hazardous conditions, follow these safety recommendations while working with this equipment:

  • Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could fall over them.

  • Do not wear loose clothing around the router. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves to prevent clothing from being caught in the chassis.

  • Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

  • Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before you start working. If an electrical accident occurs, shut the power off.

  • Before working on the router, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

  • Disconnect all power sources before doing the following:

    • Installing or removing a router chassis

    • Working near power supplies

  • Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

  • Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit.

  • Remove possible hazards from your work area, such as damp floors, ungrounded power extension cables, or missing safety grounds.

  • If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

    • Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

    • Turn off power to the room using the emergency power-off switch.

    • Determine the condition of the victim and send another person to get medical aid or call for help.

    • Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Configuring a Pluggable Interface Module

To insert the antenna in the Pluggable Interface Module, perform the below steps:

Figure 3. Attaching the Antennas

Procedure

Step 1

Use your thumb and index finger to insert and tighten antenna 1 and antenna 3 in the middle antenna attachment slots as indicated in the figure.

Note

 

While installing the antennas, first install antenna 1 and antenna 3 (this instruction is for the two antenna attachments present in the middle) and secure it completely. If you install antenna 2 and antenna 0 first (this refers to the first and the last antenna attachments), there will be less space to insert your thumb and index finger and therefore you may not be able to secure antenna 1 and 3.

Step 2

Insert antenna 2 and antenna 0 in the first and last antenna attachment slots.

Step 3

After installing the antennas, adjust the antenna orientation by spacing out each of them equally until they are spread out. This is important as it helps in getting higher RF performance.

CWDM Optic Support for Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms

The Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) solutionallows enterprise companies and service providers to provide scalable and easy-to-deploy Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel services in their networks. The product set helps enable the flexible design of highly available, multiservice networks.

TheCWDM SFPs are hot-swappable, transceiver components that you can plug into standard receptacles in Cisco routers and switches and convert Gigabit Ethernet electrical signals into a single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) interface. You can connect the CWDM SFPs to CWDM passive opticalsystem optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) or multiplexer/demultiplexer plug-in modules using single-mode fiber-optic cables with standard SC connectors.

The 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. The table lists the SFPs with their wavelengths and color codes.

Installing and Removing CWDM SFPs

This section describes howto install and remove CWDM SFPs. This section also contains guidelines for handling the CWDM SFPs.

Laser Safety

Warning : CWDM SFPs are equipped with a Class 1 laser, which emits invisible radiation. Do not stare into open optical ports. The following laser warnings apply to CWDM SFPs.

Warning Class 1 laser product.

Warning: Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Guidelines for Handling SFPs

Follow these guidelines when working with and SFPs:

  • CWDM SFP modules are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that is connected to the chassis.

  • CWDM SFP modules are dust sensitive. Always store the devices with plugs installed in the optical bores.

  • Do not remove and insert a CWDM SFP module more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and insertions of a CWDM SFP module can shorten its useful life.

Installing a CWDM SFP Module

  1. Remove the CWDM SFP module from its protective packaging and verify that the CWDM SFP module is the correct model for your network configuration.


    Note

    You can identify CWDM SFP modules by the color arrow on the CWDM SFP module label, which also lists the SFP model number and wavelength, and by the color bar on the bale clasp.

  2. Verifythat the bale clasp on the front of the SFP module is closed before inserting the SFP module.

  3. Alignthe CWDM SFP module in front of the slot opening and slide the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot.

    Caution: Do not remove the dust plugs from the optical bore of the CWDM SFP module or the dust caps from the fiber-opticcable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the CWDM SFP module optical ports and the cable connectors from contamination.

Removing a CWDM SFP Module

  1. Disconnect the fiber-optic connector cable from the CWDM SFP module.

  2. Pivot the bale out and down to eject the CWDM SFP module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

  3. Grasp the CWDM SFP between your thumb and index finger and, carefully slide the module out of the receptacle.

  4. Close the CWDM SFP bale-clasp and then insert the dust plug into the optical bores. Place the CWDM SFP in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
