To obtain the most current version of all Juniper Networks®technical documentation, see the product documentation page on the Juniper Networks website at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
If the information in the latest release notes differs from the information in the documentation, follow the product Release Notes.
Juniper Networks Books publishes books by Juniper Networks engineers and subject matter experts. These books go beyond the technical documentation to explore the nuances of network architecture, deployment, and administration. The current list can be viewed at https://www.juniper.net/books.

Using the Examples in This Manual

If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load merge relative command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming configuration into the current candidate configuration. The example does not become active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the example is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example is a snippet. In this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are described in the following sections.

Merging a Full Example

To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf. Copy the ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
} } interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable; unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
} }
xiii
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf load complete

Merging a Snippet

To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# edit system scripts [edit system scripts]
xiv
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts] user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf load complete
For more information about the load command, see CLI Explorer.

IN THIS SECTION
Benefits of the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router | 20
MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Hardware Overview | 21
The Juniper Networks MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Universal Routing Platforms are Ethernet-optimized edge routers that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 routers run Junos operating system (Junos OS), enabling a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including high-speed transport and virtual private network (VPN) services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking. Each router provides full duplex, high-density Ethernet interfaces and high- capacity switching throughput and uses the Junos Trio chipset for increased scalability of L2/L3 packet forwarding, buffering, and queuing.
Benefits of the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
System Capacity—The MX80, MX40, MX10, and MX5 routers are software upgradeable from 20 Gbps
to 80 Gbps. These platforms have up to four Modular Interface Card (MIC) slots and two fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for connecting to the network.
Always-on infrastructure base—MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with a broad
set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level resiliency aspects. Junos OS Virtual Chassis technology on MX Series routers supports chassis-level redundancy and enables you to manage two routers as a single element. Multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) implementation supports stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy.
Application-Aware Networking—On MX Series routers you can use deep packet inspection to detect
applications, and by using the user-defined policies, you can determine traffic treatment for each application. This feature enables highly customized and differentiated services at scale.
Programmable Chipset—The chipset implemented in the MX Series routers has a programmable
forwarding data structure that allows fast microcode changes in the hardware itself, and a programmable lookup engine that allows inline service processing. the chip’s programmable QoS engine supports coarse and fine-grained queuing to address the requirements of core, edge, and aggregation use cases.
Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Software Upgrade (Unified ISSU)—With the Junos continuity
plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in your MX Series router.
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) enables software upgrades and changes without disrupting network traffic.
Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-level
data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from this streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume, and buffer occupancy.

Integrated Hardware-Based Timing—You do not need to use external clocks because MX Series routers
support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based timing, including Synchronous Ethernet for frequency, and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization. Synchronous Ethernet and PTP can be combined in a hybrid mode to achieve a high level of frequency (10 ppb) and phase (<1.5 uS) accuracy.
MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Hardware Overview
The routers each contain a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine. The Packet Forwarding Engine has two “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPC 0 and FPC1). Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of both ingress and egress packet forwarding.
The routers are compact and two rack units (U) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
For scalable configuration options you can install a variety of Modular Interface Cards (MICs) in the two front slots of the router, and the optional Multiservices MIC can be installed in the rear slot. Software licenses allow you to upgrade from one router to another without a hardware upgrade. The ports are restricted based on the router’s associated license as follows:

DC Power Supply Description | 38
36
The MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 routers use either AC or DC power supplies (see Figure 15 on page 37 and Figure 16 on page 37). The router contains either one or two power supplies located at the front of the chassis in slots PS0 and PS1 (right to left). Each power supply has a handle, an ejection lever, a power switch, and a status LED. The power supplies connect to the baseboard, which distributes the different output voltages produced by the power supplies to the router components, depending on their voltage requirements. When two power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. If one power supply in a redundant configuration fails or is removed, the remaining power supply assumes the entire electrical load without interruption. A single power supply provides the maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational. A second power supply can be installed for redundancy. Each power supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system.
Redundant power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you remove a power supply from a router that uses only one power supply, the router might shut down depending on your configuration.
CAUTION: The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies
simultaneously.
NOTE: Routers configured with only one power supply are shipped with a blank panel installed
over the power supply slot that is not populated.

AC Power Supply Description
Each AC power supply weighs approximately 2.6 lb (1.18 kg) and consists of a handle, an ejection lever, an AC appliance inlet, an AC input switch, a fan, and an LED to monitor the status of the power supply.
Figure 17 on page 38 shows the power supply.
Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a minimum 15 A (110 VAC) customer site circuit breaker, or as required by local code.

Power Consumption for an AC-Powered MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router

40
To allow for future growth so that you can operate the router in any hardware configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure, we recommend that you provision 6 A @ 110 VAC (660 W) or 3 A @ 220 VAC (660 W) for each input.
Table 15 on page 40 and Table 16 on page 41 list the power requirements for base AC-powered routers
operating under typical voltage conditions.
If you do not plan to provision 6 A @ 110 VAC (660 W) or 3 A @ 220 VAC (660 W) for each input, you can use the information in Table 15 on page 40, Table 16 on page 41, and Table 17 on page 41 to calculate the power consumption and thermal output for your hardware configuration.

The following calculations show the typical power consumption for modular AC-powered routers @ 220 V (includes 85% efficiency):
Active AC-powered router with one MIC:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high speed) + 1 MIC = 282 W + 41 W = 323 W
Active AC-powered router with two MICs:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high speed) + 2 MICs 282 W + 2(41 W)= 364 W
Example of calculating system thermal output:

AC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router

We recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 15 A (110 VAC) minimum or 10 A (220 VAC) minimum for each AC power feed, or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.

AC Power Cord Specifications for MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers

42
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply that requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects each power supply to the power distribution panel.
You can order detachable AC power cords, each approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) long that supply AC power to the router. The C13 appliance coupler end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet coupler, type C14 as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug end of the power cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographic location.
Table 18 on page 42 provides specifications on the AC power cord provided for each country or region.

Power Consumption for a DC-Powered MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router

To allow for future growth so that you can operate the router in any hardware configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure, we recommend that you provision at least 13 A @ –48 VDC for each input.
Table 21 on page 45 and Table 22 on page 45 list the power requirements for base DC-powered routers
operating under typical voltage conditions.
If you do not plan to provision at least 13 A @ –48 VDC per input, you can use the information in
Table 21 on page 45, Table 22 on page 45, and Table 23 on page 45 to calculate the power consumption
@ –48 VDC and thermal output for your hardware configuration.

These examples show how to calculate typical power consumption for your DC-powered router configuration. The examples use generalized values for MICs. For exact MIC power requirements, see the
MX Series Interface Module Reference.
Typical power consumption for modular DC-powered routers:
Active DC-powered router with one MIC:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high speed) + 1 MIC = 5 A + 0.73 A = 5.73 A @ –48 VDC = 275 W DC
Active DC-powered router with two MICs:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high speed) + 2 MICs 5 A + 2(0.73 A) = 6.46 A @ –48 VDC = 310 W DC
Input current from a DC source other than –48 VDC (based on maximum configuration; applies to DC
power supply only):
(–54 VDC input) * (input current X) = (–48 VDC input) * (input current Y) 54 * X = 48 * 13 A X = 48 * 13 A/54 = 11.5 A
Example of calculating system thermal output:
46
Watts DC * 3.41 = BTU/hr 500 * 3.41 = 1,705 BTU/hr

DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers

Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a dedicated circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 13 A (–48 VDC) minimum, or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum configuration and do not provision a 13 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a dedicated customer site circuit breaker for each DC power supply rated for at least 125 percent of the continuous current that the system draws at –48 VDC.

DC Power Source Cabling for MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers

The DC power supply in PS0 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed A, and the DC power supply in PS1 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed B. This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity. There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the external DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the power cables that attach to the terminal studs on each power supply.
WARNING: For field-wiring connections, use copper conductors only.
47
CAUTION: Power cords and cables must not block access to device components or
drape where people could trip on them.

IN THIS SECTION
Front-Pluggable MICs | 51
Fixed (Built-in) MICs | 51
Modular Interface Cards (MICs) provide the physical connections to various network media types. MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the router encapsulates the packets received.
On the fixed MX80 chassis, the MICs come preinstalled and cannot be replaced.
On the modular MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 chassis, you can install a variety of MICs in the two front slots of the router, and the optional Multiservices MIC can be installed in the rear slot.

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Rack Requirements

The router can be installed in a rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks and open-frame racks. An example of an open-frame rack appears in Figure 25 on page 77.
Table 35 on page 75 summarizes rack requirements and specifications for the MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 router.
Table 35: MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Rack Requirements and Specifications
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Rack type and mounting bracket hole spacing
Use a four-post rack or a two-post rack. You can mount the router on any four-post or two-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75-in./4.44-cm) increments and that meets the size and strength requirements specified in this table.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
Table 35: MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Rack Requirements and Specifications (continued)
GuidelinesRack Requirement
76
Rack size and strength
Ensure that the rack is a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
Ensure that the rack is one of the following standard lengths:
23.62 in. (600 mm)
30.0 in. (762 mm)
31.5 in. (800 mm)
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router
chassis's external dimensions: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) high, 23.46 in. (59.6 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm). The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must also allow for the clearances around the router and rack that are specified in
“MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 77.
The router ships with the mounting brackets installed in the front-mount
position. You can also move the brackets to the center-mount position. For instructions about moving the mounting hardware, see “Moving the Mounting
Brackets for Center-Mounting MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers” on page 94.
The chassis height of 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) is approximately 2 U.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured
router, up to 30 lb (13.6 kg).
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack as specified in “MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 77.
Rack connection to the building structure
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographic area, secure the rack to
the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for
maximum stability.
Figure 25: Typical Open-Frame Rack
77

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance

When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 26 on page 78):
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. Allow
at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between side-cooled routers. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the
front and back of the router. At least 24 in. (61 cm) are required both in front of and behind the router. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the router.

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Cabinet Requirements and Specifications

Table 36 on page 78 summarizes cabinet requirements and specifications for MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 routers.
Table 36: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
Guidelines for the MX80 RouterCabinet Requirement
Cabinet size and clearance
The minimum-sized cabinet that can accommodate the router is 19-in. (482-mm)
wide and 23.62-in. (600-mm) deep. A cabinet larger than the minimum requirement provides better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating. If you provide adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack several routers in a cabinet that has sufficient usable vertical space. Each router requires 2 U.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) (http://www.ecianow.org).
With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack multiple MX5,
MX10, MX40, and MX80 routers in a cabinet with a four-post rack. In all cases, the rack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight.
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. (780 mm) between
the inside of the front door and the inside of the rear door.

Guidelines for the MX80 RouterCabinet Requirement

Cabinet airflow requirements
When you install the router in a cabinet, you must ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating. Consider the following requirements to when planning for chassis cooling:
Airflow must always be from front to back with respect to the rack. If the device
has side to rear airflow, then provisions must be made to ensure that fresh air from the front of the rack is supplied to the inlets, and exhaust exits the rear of the rack. The device must not interfere with the cooling of other systems in the rack. Fillers must be used as appropriate in the rack to ensure there is no recirculation of heated exhaust air back to the front of the rack. Care must also be taken around cables to ensure no leakage of air in situations where recirculation may result.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the
cabinet without recirculating into the router. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust. For an illustration of chassis airflow, see Figure 27 on page 79.
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet can adequately
dissipate the thermal output of the router.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the
chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack as specified in “MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 77.
Install the router as close as possible to the front of the cabinet so that the
chassis just clears the inside of the front door. This maximizes the clearance in the rear of the cabinet for critical airflow.

Determining Transceiver Support and Specifications for M Series and T Series Routers

You can find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connector type, the optical and cable characteristics—where applicable—are documented for each transceiver. The Hardware Compatibility Tool allows you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or category, displaying all the transceivers by interface speed or type. The Hardware Compatibility Tool is located at
https://apps.juniper.net/hct/.
Some transceivers support additional monitoring using the operational mode CLI command show interfaces diagnostics optics. Use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to determine if your transceiver supports monitoring. See the Junos OS documentation for your device for a description of the monitoring fields.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.

Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 81
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs are not coherent sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflects the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding, higher-order mode loss results. Together these factors limit the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared with single-mode fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light can reflect internally through one layer only. Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared with multimode fiber, single-mode fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes unreliable transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
Correct functioning of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in power of the light signal as it is
transmitted. Attenuation is caused by passive media components, such as cables, cable splices, and connectors. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must have enough light available to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect an optical data link:
Chromatic dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different speeds of light rays.
Modal dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different propagation modes in
the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion rather than modal dispersion limits maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be less than the limits specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
82
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation, power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable
transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:

How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable | 83
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable
To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of power budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
83
PB= PT– P
R
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB= PT– P
R
PB= –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
PB= 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable
After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A worst-case estimate of PMassumes maximum LL:
PM= PB– LL
PMgreater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.
Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion, connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 37 on page 83 lists an estimated amount of loss for the factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.

84
Fiber attenuation
Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses the estimated values from Table 37 on page 83 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and two splices (0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated
as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM= 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM= 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses the estimated values from Table 37 on page 83 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM= 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM= 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Installing MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Chassis in the Rack

To install the router in the rack (see Figure 31 on page 97 and Figure 32 on page 97):
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one router in a rack, install the lowest one
first. Installing a router in an upper position in a rack or cabinet requires a lift.
96
CAUTION: Before front mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified technician
verify that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately supported at the installation site.
CAUTION: Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires two people (one person
to hold the router in place and a second person to install the screws). The chassis weighs approximately 30 lb (13.6 kg).
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet.
3. Hold onto the bottom of the chassis and carefully lift it so that the mounting brackets contact the rack rails.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not
your back. Avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
4. Align the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack rails.

Tools and Parts Required for MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router Grounding and Power Connections

To ground and provide power to the router, you need the following tools and parts:
Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
Torque-controlled driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 6 lb-in., for tightening screws to terminals
on each power supply on a DC-powered router
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power
supply is 6 lb-in. (0.7 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged if excessive torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws on the DC power supply terminals. Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 6 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
