Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
In fiber optic video and audio transportation networks, connectivity is
usually protected by feeding signals to both a primary fiber and a
standby or redundant fiber. In the event of link failure, an optical switch
at the receiver end switches from the working fiber to the redundant
protection fiber. The OPSS+OP+D switch provides this protection
either on an automatic basis, or as a manually-set device. The
OPSS+OP+D is protocol transparent and can be used in CWDM
optical networks.
Alternately, the OBS+OP+5050D is a totally passive device that
continually splits 50/50 the primary and standby fiber signals to provide
redundancy protection.
Main Features
These are the main features of the OBS+OP+5050D and OPSS+OP+D
products:
• Intelligent auto-switching and auto-changeover (OPSS+OP+D)
• Programmable switching threshold and changeover hysteresis
(OPSS+OP+D)
• Comprehensive signal and card status monitoring (OPSS+OP+D)
• Single mode fiber support
• Multiple wavelength acceptance (1260 nm to 1610 nm range)
• Standard SMPTE SC/PC optical connectors, supporting ST/PC and
FC/PC available options

Setting the Fiber Input Switch
The OBS+OP+5050D and OPSS+OP+D modules have no jumpers to
set.
On the OPSS+OP+D, a single 3-position switch at the card edge (see
Figure 2-1) locally controls the fiber inputs, or sets the module to
remote control by CCS. The switch provides the following options:
• Port 1 Connected
• Automatic Mode (CCS remote control)
• Port 2 Connected
Figure 2-1. Fiber Input Switch
When you select Port 1 Connected or Port 2 Connected using the
switch, the module accepts the signal as it is received from the
designated port.
When you select Automatic Mode control, CCS control panels and
software are enabled. This makes it possible for you to either use
automatic selection (in which the module selects one of the two inputs,
based on light intensity), or manual selection.
When in automatic mode, the module selects the incoming source based
on the Signal Good Threshold and the Switch Threshold parameter
settings (see
“Setting Parameters” on page 22).

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic
Connections
Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously
impair or disable a fiber optic network. To ensure that your network
operates reliably, you must carefully inspect and clean each connection
when installing OPTO+ products.
Tabl e 2-3 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection.
The inspection and cleaning procedure begins on page 18.
Important Points
• Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.
• Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a
connection.
• Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.
• Do not touch the end of a fiber.
• Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located
nearby for easy access.
• Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.
• Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber
end.
Table 2-3. Typical Contaminants
Contaminant Comments
Dust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission,
creating a loss of 0.05 dB
Dust particle, 9 microns Although microscopic, the particle can completely
block the fiber core
Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter
Oil Frequently caused by touching
Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke
Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents
evaporate

microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an
energized fiber end.
2. Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.
3. If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions on
page 12 (for the back module) or page 13 (for the front module).
If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions
below.
Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the
manufacturer’s directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these
steps:
1. Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care
to avoid touching the cleaning surface of the wipe.
2. Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3. Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a
new wipe.
4. Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5. If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 12
(for the back module) or page 13 (for the front module).
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning
instructions.
OBS+OP+5050D and OPSS+OP+D Installation and Operation Manual 19
Chapter 2: Installation
Wet Cleaning
Using 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to
wet clean the fiber:
1. Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.
2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99%
alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.
3. Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the
lint-free wipe.
4. Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the
wipe, removing any residual alcohol.
5. Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet
cleaning with another clean section of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6. Dry clean any remaining residue and then inspect the connector
again.
7. If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning
procedure until the endface is clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts,
call Customer Service for further instructions.
If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions on
page 12 (for the back module) or page 13 (for the front module).

Laser Safety
WARNING
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those
specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser
transmitters that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the
human eye. Although a conventional laser produces a small beam of
light, the power density is very high, and it can cause damage to your
eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the
energy on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much
as 100,000 times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the
retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class
1, 2, 3, and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing
injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules in the OPTO+ series are
designated Class 1.
Precautions for Enclosed Systems
In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is
totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber
optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber
disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions. Also,
technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and
servicing.
Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly
divergent beam that decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the
distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for
eye injury.
WARNING
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a
microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the
energized fiber end.
OBS+OP+5050D and OPSS+OP+D Installation and Operation Manual 31
Appendix A: Laser Safety Guidelines
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication
systems are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following
precautions:
• Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.
• Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved
training course before performing installation or maintenance.
• Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of
the modules.
Precautions for Unenclosed Systems
During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber
telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these
conditions, follow these practices:
• Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized
optical connectors at close distances.
• Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test
equipment during installation or servicing.
• Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test
set.
• Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of
the optical fiber systems during installation and service.
CAUTION
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service,
maintenance, and restoration.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in
the workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for
Safe Use of Lasers in the United States. Outside the U.S., IEC-60825,
Part 2 applies.
