WPON Product Overview ETSI environmental and CRoHS guidelines

Figure 2 Products above MCV value label

18985

Together with major international telecommunications equipment companies, Nokia

has determined it is appropriate to use an EFUP of 50 years for network
infrastructure equipment and an EFUP of 20 years for handsets and accessories.
These values are based on manufacturers' extensive practical experience of the
design, manufacturing, maintenance, usage conditions, operating environments,
and physical condition of infrastructure and handsets after years of service. The
values reflect minimum values and refer to products operated according to the
intended use conditions. See “Hazardous Substances Table (HST)” for more
information.

2.2 Hazardous Substances Table (HST)

This section describes the compliance of the AP and HOU equipment to the CRoHS

standard when the product and subassemblies contain hazardous substances
beyond the MCV value. This information is found in this user documentation where
part numbers for the product and subassemblies are listed. It may be referenced in
other documentation that describes the AP or HOU equipment.

In accordance with the People’s Republic of China Electronic Industry Standard
Marking for the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products

(SJ/T11364-2006), customers may access the Nokia Hazardous Substance Table,

5.6 WPON planning considerations

5.7 Compatible CPE

5.1 WPON solution

The Nokia Wireless PON solution is an ideal technology for fixed operators to use
as an alternative to a physical fiber drop. It provides a 60 GHz wireless drop for a
PON or P2P-based optic network so that fiber optic cables are not used for
connection to subscribers’ homes. The WPON solution can be deployed tactically to
provide ubiquitous coverage to service areas where fiber is impractical, or
strategically for a whole service area as a lower-cost alternative to Gigabit fiber to
the home.

The WPON has an Access Point (AP) that physically connects to the PON or P2P­based optic network. The AP uses 1 Gbps wireless line-of-sight communication with
up to eight Home Outdoor Units (HOUs) up to 100 m (328 ft) away per AP that
provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to CPE inside the subscriber homes.
Depending on certain deploy-ability conditions, the reach can be than 100 m (328
ft), but support for 1 Gbps is not guaranteed.

Connectivity from the AP to the PON, or 1 Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit Ethernet
P2P-based optic network, is done through an SFP module that can be installed in
the SFP cage of the AP. The SFP module can be an SFP ONT or a P2P optical
Ethernet uplink SFP.

The WPON solution uses the 802.11ad standard to deliver ultra broadband access
over short distances with limited interference between systems because of narrow
beams and inherent propagation limitations of this standard.

Figure 6 shows a high-level representation of the WPON solution providing a
wireless drop from a PON or P2P-based optic network to three subscriber homes.

The WPON solution can be used with a fiber distribution network that includes the
Nokia 7360 ISAM as shown in Figure 7; in this case, the WPON is deployed as an
extension of the ISAM.

27557

The WPON solution can also be used directly with a network that does not include
an ISAM.

A PON or a P2P-based optic network can have multiple WPONs; for example, the
EMAN that uses the 7360 ISAM shown in Figure 7 has three WPONs.

5.1.1 APs

An AP can be installed on a pole such as a utility pole or light pole, or on the
outside of a building and uses 1 Gbps wireless line-of-sight communication with up
to eight HOUs up to 100 m (328 ft) away; depending on certain deploy-ability
conditions, the reach can be than 100 m (328 ft), but support for 1 Gbps is not
guaranteed. The AP can be considered to be a directional multi-Gigabit access
point. An AP contains a GPS and magnetometer, enabling it to report its location
and orientation to the management system.

An AP can be a Head AP, Relay AP, or an Extension AP.

WPON solution overview WPON Product Overview

36 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

5.1.1.1 Head AP

The Head AP is an AP that is connected to a PON or P2P-based optic network; it
provides the optical-to-wireless conversion for the WPON. Every WPON has a Head
AP. Depending on the WPON topology, the Head AP might be the only AP in the
WPON or it might have wireless connectivity to other APs in the WPON.

A pole-mounted Head AP can be connected to an Extension AP.

5.1.1.2 Relay AP

The Relay AP is an AP that has wireless connectivity to other APs in a WPON, either
to the Head AP and/or to other Relay APs in the WPON. A Relay AP cannot be
connected to a PON or P2P-based optic network.

A pole-mounted Relay AP can be connected to an Extension AP.

5.1.1.3 Extension AP

The Extension AP is an AP that does not have wireless connectivity to other APs in
a WPON. It can be installed with a Head AP or Relay AP on a pole to provide wider
wireless coverage, such as to HOUs on houses on both sides of a street. In this
case the pair of APs are connected to each other through a 1 Gigabit electrical
Ethernet cable that handles all the traffic between the two APs. Figure 8 shows an
AP pair, with each AP of the AP pair employing wireless line-of-sight communication
with three HOUs; the figure does not indicate which AP is the Head AP and which
AP is the Extension AP.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 37

5.1.2 HOUs

An HOU provides the wireless-to-Gigabit Ethernet electrical conversion for the
WPON solution at the subscriber premises. An HOU can be considered to be a
wireless station (STA). An HOU is installed on the outside of a subscriber’s home
and uses a UTP cat-5 electrical cable for physical connectivity to CPE such as a
residential gateway inside the home. The same cable is used to provide power over
Ethernet to the HOU, using power provided by the CPE or from a Nokia-approved
PoE injector. An HOU contains a GPS and magnetometer, enabling it to report its
location and orientation to the management system.

The HOU is easy to install and may be installed or replaced by subscribers if
considered appropriate.

After physical installation and power up, an HOU automatically connects to the best
AP available, reports its presence, gets configured, and initiates service per the
customer subscribed service type.

5.1.3 APs and HOUs in WPONs

At a minimum, a WPON consists of one AP and at least one HOU.

A WPON has a single NNI point at the optical connection point of the AP with the
PON or P2P-based optic network. This AP is the Head AP.

A WPON can have multiple UNI points, one at each HOU that is part of the WPON.

The number and types of APs and HOUs in a WPON depends on the topology used
for the WPON. See section 5.2 for more information about WPON topologies.

5.2 WPON topologies

The WPON solution can be set up in the following topologies:

• basic WPON topology

• wireless daisy chain topology

5.2.1 Basic WPON topology

The basic WPON topology consists of a single AP or AP pair that connects to the
PON or P2P-based optic network and provides wireless communications to HOUs
through wireless line-of-sight communication. The topology shown in Figure 6 is an
example of the basic WPON topology. The network shown in Figure 7 has three
basic WPONs.

WPON solution overview WPON Product Overview

38 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

The basic WPON topology requires a Head AP to connect to the fiber optic network;
the Head AP may also connect to an Extension AP. The basic WPON topology does
not have Relay APs.

5.2.2 Wireless daisy chain topology

A WPON can be set up in a linear or a branched, non-looped, daisy chain topology
so that APs can use line-of-sight wireless communication with other APs in the
WPON. A Head AP is connected to the PON or P2P-based optic network; the other
APs in the daisy chain are Relay APs. The fiber optical connection at the Head AP
supports all the subscribers that are served by all the APs in the daisy chain. Each
Relay AP in the daisy chain automatically uses self backhaul so that all upstream
traffic is transmitted to the PON or P2P-based optic network through the Head AP.
A total of three APs, including the Head AP, with a maximum of two hops, can be
supported in a daisy chain topology. Extension APs are not included as APs and are
not included in the hop count.

In a linear daisy chain topology, an AP communicates with one direct downstream
AP. In a branched daisy chain topology, an AP communicates with more than one
direct downstream AP.

The Head AP can use wireless line-of-sight communication with up to two
downstream Relay APs and up to eight HOUs. A Relay AP can use wireless line-of­sight communication with up to two APs (including one upstream AP, which could
be the Head AP or another Relay AP), and up to eight HOUs for a maximum of
three APs in total in the daisy chain topology. The Relay AP can also function as a
connection between two APs without connecting to any HOUs.

Figure 9 shows a linear daisy chain that has two Relay APs. Each of the APs in the
example has wireless communications with three HOUs.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 39

Figure 9 Example of a linear daisy chain topology

27559

Note — APs to be used in a daisy chain must be ordered from Nokia

for use as a Head AP or as Relay APs.

If an AP pair is used in a daisy chain, the Extension AP is not part of the daisy chain.
Figure 10 shows an example of a daisy chain that has a Relay AP that is part of an
AP pair.

5.3 WPON architecture

A WPON is made up:

• an underlay network

• one or more overlay networks

5.3.1 Underlay network

The underlay network serves as an IP-based network that provides connectivity
between all the APs and HOUs in the WPON. The underlay network uses RIP for
route distribution and routing for the APs and HOUs using IP addresses that are
assigned by a private DHCP server hosted in the Head AP.

The Head AP has an internal DHCP server that is private and delivers IP addresses
to the HOUs. Other APs perform DHCP relay. The IGMP proxy function is in the
Head AP,

A WPON has a single underlay network.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 41

The underlay network is managed through the WPON manager. See section 5.5.1
for more information about the WPON manager.

5.3.2 Overlay network

The overlay network is a virtual network that provides L2 connectivity between an
HOU and its associated AP through the use of a GRE tunnel. The overlay network
provides logical P2P connectivity on top of the underlay network. The WPON
solution behaves like a L2 network where Ethernet frames are cross connected on
a tagged VLAN basis between the NNI (which is an AP) and UNI (which is an HOU).

A WPON has an overlay network for each HOU in the WPON.

If an HOU is associated with an AP that is part of a basic WPON topology, the AP
(which is a Head AP) and the HOU function as a Layer 2 switch with the AP being
the NNI point and a GRE tunnel endpoint and with the HOU being the UNI point and
the other GRE tunnel endpoint.

The GRE tunnel is always setup between the Head AP and UNI port, regardless of
the WPON topology used.

A GRE tunnel carries Ethernet frames both directions between the HOU and AP.
Each HOU has a private IP address and an X.509 certificate. The Head AP has a
private DHCP server to assign internal IP addresses, with each wireless segment
having its own subnet. In the AP, the remote IP address is unspecified and learned
dynamically, and each GRE tunnel in the WPON is assigned a unique key. The
DSCP field of the IP header of the GRE tunnel packets is used to preserve QoS
inside the WPON. The DSCP values match the traffic class to which the flow
carried inside is mapped. On the wireless interfaces, queue selection is done
based on the DSCP values.

For multicast traffic, an IGMP proxy is used in the AP to dynamically build the
multicast forwarding tree so that multicast traffic is passed to the GRE tunnels for
delivery to the HOUs.

In the downstream direction, the AP transmits only subscriber-specific traffic
(including multicast traffic that the subscriber subscribes to) over the overlay network
to the associated HOU (that is, it is the AP, not the HOU, that differentiates traffic
that is not intended for the subscriber associated with each HOU, for example, traffic
with an unknown destination or traffic destined for other stations associated with the
AP).

APs use priority queues on a weighted fair queuing basis to ensure that each HOU
gets a fair share of the bandwidth (upstream and downstream).

Overlay networks, including GRE tunnels, are created and managed through the
WPON manager. See section 5.5.1 for more information about the WPON manager.

5.4 WPON services

The WPON solution supports the following services:

• high speed Internet

• voice over IP

• broadcast TV

The WPON transports the above three services, meaning that they are transparent
to the WPON. The WPON can support a voice service, but this requires an external
solution.

5.5 WPON management

The following are used for management of the WPON solution:

• WPON manager (section 5.5.1)

• Nokia Altiplano (section 5.5.2)

• Bluetooth (section 5.5.3)

5.5.1 WPON management through the WPON manager

The WPON manager is based on the Altiplano Management System (described in
section 5.5.2) and it provides web server management for the WPON solution. The
WPON manager serves as the element manager for the WPON and allows you to
configure the following:

• equipment deployment, specifically provisioning of the basic infrastructure such

as hardware components of APs and HOUs in a WPON, including device
management configurations, targeted software version, and the interface to the
PON or P2P optical network

• the underlay network of a WPON, specifically provisioning of the wireless and/or

Ethernet interfaces of APs and HOUs, including IP addresses and underlying
network routing aspects

• the overlay networks of a WPON, specifically provisioning of loopback interfaces,

provisioning GRE tunnels by creating GRE tunnel endpoints in the WPON, and
creating services

The WPON manager:

• provides abstractions for service provisioning across the various elements in a

WPON

• is responsible for monitoring the health of the various elements in a WPON as

well as monitoring the health of services provisioned on them

• is responsible for management of the GRE tunnels in a WPON

• is responsible for IP address assignment for the underlay network and

configuration of DHCP services in the private DHCP server of the Head AP for
dynamic IP assignment for all other elements in the WPON

• controls the entire QoS configuration

The WPON manager provides a GUI that provides the following:

WPON solution overview WPON Product Overview

44 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

• device list, with information such as name, type, connection status, alignment

status, and health for each AP and HOU in the WPON

• topology history that shows information such as topology version, timestamp, and

user name and allows you to view a graphical comparison of topology versions
of the WPON

• network list that provides the AP name, interface name, interface mode, IP

address, and subnet for each WPON

The WPON manager is provided as an extension or plug-in as part of the Altiplano.
When you create and provision APs and HOUs and create GRE tunnels and
services through the WPON manager, the information is passed to the Altiplano.
See section 5.5.2 for more information about the Altiplano.

5.5.2 WPON management through the Nokia Altiplano

The Nokia Altiplano is a cloud-native access platform that consists of two products:

• the Nokia Altiplano Access Controller: • The Access Controller is the domain

controller for unified management of both SDN and traditional access networks. It
offers a wide range of APIs and tools, such as field force, service fulfillment, service
assurance and task center applications that help to visualize, automate, optimize and
enhance the network. It provides automation, easy integration with the OSS/BSS and
flexible programming of end-to-end services in the access network.

• The Access Controller automates the network and provides software management,

backup and restore, and alarm collection functions

• the Nokia Altiplano Access Virtualizer: • The Access Virtualizer is the cloud

component that creates a virtualized and centralized view of the network in the cloud.
It offers the logic and primitives for efficiently programming and monitoring the
underlying network elements, without having to deal with challenges such as node
reachability and scalability when connecting to hundreds of thousands of nodes.

• The Access Virtualizer programs nodes and provides a persistent management agent

(PMA) function for the APs and HOUs in each WPON, and acts as a persistent
management agent aggregator towards the WPON manager; the persistent
management agent provides disaggregation of the management layer and abstraction
of the WPON via standard YANG models

The Altiplano provisions APs and HOUs in response to call-home messages sent by
the APs and HOUs to it after they have been created and provisioned through the
WPON manager.

5.5.3 WPON management through Bluetooth

Local craft terminal access for APs and HOUs is provided through a Bluetooth
interface (classical Bluetooth, reach greater than 20 m (65.6 ft)) on the AP or HOU.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 45

The Bluetooth interface provides access to a Bluetooth server that is used for local
management of the AP or HOU through an app on a Bluetooth-equipped mobile
phone that can be used as a local terminal to access the AP or HOU for on-site
configuration, troubleshooting, or maintenance.

The app is a Native Mobile Application, which can assist in troubleshooting the AP
and HOU in case the connection towards the WPON manager is broken.

Connection between the mobile phone and the AP or HOU is established over
Bluetooth with a Personal Area Network (PAN) Profile using the MAC address. The

MAC address is retrieved from Quick Response (QR) code during QR scanning of
the AP or HOU.

The user logs in to the app using a default password that should be changed
immediately for security reasons via the Nokia Altiplano (PMA). After first login, the
password is securely stored (hashed) on the mobile phone, so credentials do not
need to be provided by the user in upcoming logins.

The app offers the possibility of performing different setup and troubleshooting
actions, such as setup of the AP or HOU, setting the time of day, displaying some
statistics, and performing resets, including to factory settings. The app can be used
to display the MAC address, serial number, and product type.

The app allows you to upload Certificate Authority (CA) certificates to the AP and
HOU from the mobile device. Uploading can be done by selecting the option Upload
CA certificates from the app main screen after successful login has taken place.
The app user must first manually download the certificates into the Download folder
on the mobile device before they can be uploaded to the WPON devices. Only the
following CA certificate names are valid for uploading to the WPON devices:

• pmaCA.pem

• radiusCA.pem

• logserverCA.pem

If the downloaded CA certificates do not adhere to these naming rules, the app user
must manually rename the files prior to uploading them so that the files upload
successfully.

5.6 WPON planning considerations

WPON planning considerations include the following:

• planing the network:

WPON solution overview WPON Product Overview

46 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

• network topology of the APs and HOUs

• address pool for the Head AP in the public DHCP server

• IP route from Head AP's address to the WPON manager needs be configured; the

correct gateway address also be configured in the DHCP pool in the public DHCP
server

• Public DHCP server, RADIUS server and the WPON manger need to be

deployed correctly; the following are important:

• the public DHCP server is configured for Option 125 for the WPON manager address

and port and for Option 43 (vendor specific value) for all Head AP serial numbers

• correct CA certificate is installed on RADIUS server, HTTPS file server (software

image repository), and WPON manager for call home • correct software image is in

the HTTPS file server

• APs and HOUs must have correct time and correct CA certificates

• serial numbers need to be put into the WPON manager to be able to do the

following:

• preparation of configurations for AP and HOU for their serial number, setting work

mode, L2/L3 configuration and WiGig configuration, update private DHCP server
configuration in Head AP

• for configuration of Option 43 in the public DHCP server for permitted access device

(APs and HOUs)

• for all devices will be updated to the latest version from the WPON manager at the

same time

• for the operator to use the WPON manager to know whether the network topology

is correctly deployed

• the WPON manager needs to define the private DHCP server of the Head

AP for configuration of Option 125 for the WPON manager address/port and
Option 43 for all connected Relay APs, Extension APs, and HOUs

5.7 Compatible CPE

The HOU supports connection of any VLAN tagging compatible residential gateway
or router or similar Internet-access CPE that can connect to the HOU through the
Cat5 Ethernet cable attached to the HOU.

An example of CPE that can connect to the HOU is the Nokia Beacon 1 (HA-020W­A) residential gateway.

The Cat5 Ethernet cable attached to the HOU also provides ground and PoE power
to the HOU. If the CPE cannot provide PoE power to the HOU, a Nokia-approved
PoE injector (PoE 802.3at/PoE+) will need to be used in conjunction with the CPE.

See chapter 7 for more information about the HOU and its physical connections.

6.2 AP general description

APs are designed to provide the optical-to-wireless conversion for the WPON
solution by providing a fiber optic interface to the PON or P2P optical network
along with providing wireless 180 degree line-of-sight communication with up to
eight HOUs. Depending on the WPON topology, an AP can also provide wireless
line-of-sight communication with other APs. See chapter 5 for more information
about the WPON solution.

Connectivity from the AP to the PON or P2P-based optic network is done through
an SFP module that can be installed in the SFP cage of the AP. The SFP module
can be an SFP ONT or a P2P optical Ethernet uplink SFP.

WPON Product Overview AP unit data sheet

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 49

On the wireless side, the AP uses 802.11ad supporting unlicensed 60 GHz mm
Wave wireless line-of-sight communication with 1 Gbps peak speeds.

The AP is managed through the WPON manager and the Nokia Altiplano cloud­native access platform. A local craft terminal access point is provided on the AP
through a Bluetooth interface (classical Bluetooth, reach greater than 20 m (65.6 ft))
for management through an app. See section 5.5 in this document for more
information about management of the WPON solution.

The AP provides the following functions and features:

• optical to wireless conversion • wireless Gigabit Ethernet channels: • In North

America: an AP uses two channels: one channel is used for interfaces to other APs, the
other channel is used for the drop interface to HOUs

• Outside North America: an AP uses three channels: two channels are used for interfaces

to other APs, one channel is used for the drop interface to HOUs

• in the downstream direction, the AP filters subscriber traffic and transmits it to the

respective HOUs (that is, the AP discards traffic that is not intended for the
subscriber associated with the HOU)

• can be installed on a pole such as a utility pole or a light pole (fits multiple pole

dimensions and geometries) or on the building facade

• daisy chain with other APs using self backhaul

• up to 1 Gbps aggregate capacity per HOU, supporting 1 Gbps peak speeds to up

to eight HOUs up to 100 m (328) away; depending on certain deploy-ability
conditions, the reach can be than 100 m (328), but support for 1 Gbps is not
guaranteed

• beam-forming antennas for fast and reliable wireless connection

• built-in different antenna configurations and applications

• wide field of view for antennas: 180 degrees horizontal and 60 degrees vertical

• PON or P2P optic fiber feed (uses an SFP module)

• single mode fiber (uses SC/APC connector)

• local grid DC powered (48 VDC)

• built-in GPS and magnetometer

• IP66 protected

• compact size

• X.509 certificate-based authentication • encryption over the air:

• WPA2-Enterprise

• IEEE 802.1X/EAP-TLS for mutual authentication

• data-confidentiality protocol GCMP, added as per 802.11ad amendment

8.5 HOU installation and replacement

8.1 Before installing APs and HOUs

Before installing APs and HOUs, make sure that the WPON planning considerations

described in section 5.6 have been addressed.

Be sure to consider the following for the WPON manager, RADIUS server, and

public DHCP server before installing APs and HOUs:

WPON manager:

• certificate settings: • for device certificates, Nokia issues them by Nokia Factory CA,

so Nokia Factory CA is put in the WPON manager Trustchain.crt

• by default, the WPON manager uses the certificate issued by Nokia Factory CA; you

must install the WPON manager’s private key and certificate in the WPON manager • if
you want to want to use an operator-specific CA to issue/sign the WPON manager
certificate, then besides installing WPON’s 's private key and certificate in the WPON
manager, you must also upload the CA certificate to each WPON device (that is, all APs
and HOUs) through the mobile app later on for authentication purposes

• the whole topology should be pre-defined in the WPON manager

• the WPON manager needs to define the private DHCP server inside the Head

AP for configuration of Option 125 for the WPON manager address/port and
Option
43 for all connected Relay APs, Extension APs, and HOUs

RADIUS server:

WPON Product Overview Installing or replacing APs and HOUs

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 67

• the Nokia Factory CA is automatically set as the device CA file in the RADIUS

server

• if you want to use the Nokia-issued certificate for the RADIUS server, you must

put the private key and the certificate provided by Nokia as the 509 certificate for
wigig authentication in the RADIUS server

• if you want to use an operator-issued certificate to issue/sign the RADIUS

server's certificate, then besides putting the corresponding private key and
certificate in the RADIUS server for wigig authentication, you also need to upload
the CA certificate to the WPON devices (that is, Relay APs, Extension APs, and
HOUs) through the mobile app

Public DHCP server:

• you need to set Option 125 for the WPON manager address and port

• you need to set Option 43 (vendor specific value) for all Head AP serial numbers

For all installation scenarios, the Head AP should be configured first, then Relay APs

and Extension APs, and then HOUs last of all.

If any changes are made for Option 125 or Option 43 on the public DHCP server or

on the private DHCP server in the Head AP, or for CA on the RADIUS server, then
all WPON devices need to be reset.

Before APs and HOUs can be brought into operation after installation, all the

required back-end components have to be available:

• Altiplano

• RADIUS server

• File server with software images

• OAM network has to be provisioned and IP connectivity between

Altiplano/RADIUS/file server and WPON has to be put in place. This includes
configuring the public DHCP server that will be handing out IP addresses to the
WPON. This DHCP server has to be configured to provide the Altiplano URL to
the WPON system.

For the Head AP: configuration of the private DHCP server inside the Head AP
for configuration of Option 125 and Option 43

An app on a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone is required for installing APs and

HOUs. See section 5.5.3 for more information.

After an AP or HOU has been installed, it can be created and provisioned in Altiplano.

This can be done with or without filling in the serial number. If it is already known
which serial number goes where, the serial number can be added before installation

Installing or replacing APs and HOUs WPON Product Overview

of the AP or HOU, or if the serial number is not yet known, it can be added after the
AP or HOU is installed.

8.2 Installation scenarios for APs and HOUs

A number of installation scenarios are possible for APs and HOUs, including

installation of the HOU by the subscriber. Careful consideration of the installation
scenarios in advance of installation can greatly speed up the installation process.

10 Fiber optic maintenance

10.1 Purpose

This chapter provides the steps for proper maintenance of fiber optic devices including fiber
optic receptacles and connectors.

10.2 General

Proper maintenance of fiber optic devices consists of inspection and, if necessary, cleaning of
fiber optic receptacles and connectors. Recommendations for handling fiber optic devices
including fiber optic jumper cables as well as the recommended acceptance criteria for fiber optic
device inspections appear below.

10.2.1 Handling considerations

Consider the following when handling fiber optic devices and accessories.

• The bend radius for single-mode optical cable should not be less than 102 mm (2 in.), and

the bend radius for multimode optical cable is 152 mm (6 in.).

• Handle cables with care; avoid twisting the cable while turning its connectors or routing the

cable during installation.

• Connect or disconnect a connector by holding the sides of the connector and pulling gently.

Note — Do not pull on the boot off the connector.

• Do not touch the fiber cable end-faces.

• Do not expose the cable to excessive heat.

• Do not allow connectors to strike or drag across work surfaces, including the floor.

• Do not allow cables to support any weight.

• Do not use cable ties to secure fiber optic cables. • Do not crush or damage fibers by placing

objects on top of a cable or a connector, or by rough handling while mounting other nearby
devices.

• Keep dust and contaminants away from fiber optic surfaces.

• Keep dust caps on connectors and input/output plugs on receptacles until just prior to

installation.

• Store unused dust caps and plugs in an anti-static, zipper-locked plastic bag for future use.

• Replace dust caps and plugs if they:

• fall on the floor

• are cracked or damaged in any way

WPON Product Overview Fiber optic maintenance

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 75

• are dirty or exposed to dust in the environment

Figure 17 shows the main parts of a fiber optic cable.

Fiber optic maintenance WPON Product Overview

76 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

Figure 17 Parts of a fiber optic cable

10.2.2 Fiber optic jumper cable care

Use the following guidelines to care for fiber optic jumper cables.

• Store all unused fiber optic jumper cables in a cabinet.

• Hang all unused fiber jumper optic cables on a cable rack, or lay them flat in a cupboard.

• Ensure there is no tension on the fiber optic cable, or any sharp bending, twisting, or kinks

(micro-bends). • The radius of the bend should meet the specifications of the manufacturer,

or be at least 38 mm (1.5 in.).

• When the fiber-optic jumper cable is not in use, cover the end connectors with the dust caps.

10.2.3 Acceptance criteria for fiber optic device
inspections

Fiber optic connectors and receptacles must be visually inspected before every connection,
including the first-time installation of components still in their original packaging. After the fiber
optic devices pass inspection and the connection is made, it is not necessary to disassemble the
connection for inspection.

The following guidelines apply to acceptance criteria.

Core

Cladding

Ferrule

WPON Product Overview Fiber optic maintenance

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 77

• Loose contamination of any kind is not acceptable and must be cleaned from the end-face.

• For inspection purposes, pits are to be treated the same as non-removable contamination.

• When measuring oddly shaped contamination (non-round shapes), use the largest

dimension.

• If contamination falls across more than one zone, use the acceptance criteria of the most

stringent zone.

• For multifiber cable, each end-face must meet the inspection criteria.

10.2.4 Acceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria for single-mode end-faces are provided in Table 24. The zones referred to in
Table 24 are illustrated in Figure 18.

The result of an inspection can be one of three conditions:

10.6 Procedure

Use this procedure to inspect and, if necessary, clean the fiber optic cable connectors.

1 Disconnect any power to the fiber optic device before inspection.

WPON Product Overview Fiber optic maintenance

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 81

Danger — Never look into the end of an optical cable while optical power is

being applied to the fiber. When cleaning or taking measurements, avoid eye
exposure to open-ended fibers and optical connectors. The fibers and

connectors may be connected to a laser transmitter. Use a microscope and video
monitor when inspecting the end-face.

2 Gently disconnect the fiber optic connector from the receptacle.

3 Inspect the cable jacket for nicks, cuts, bends, kinks, or other signs of damage.

4 Inspect the ferrule for signs of damage, for example scratches, cracks, or damaged guide

holes (badly worn or out-of-round).

5 Using the inspection kit, inspect the receptacle.

Warning 1 — Clean fiber optic receptacles only when the receptacles are

connected for the first time, or if there is evidence of contamination.

Warning 2 — Always use the proper cleaning materials, otherwise the fiber

optic equipment may become contaminated.

Determine whether the receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance criteria

documented in “Acceptance criteria”).

aIf yes, go to step 8. b

If no, go to step 7.

Note —

Do not use the cable if there is damage.

Note —

Do not use the device if there is damage.

Fiber optic maintenance WPON Product Overview

82 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01

6 Using the inspection kit, inspect the connector.

Warning 1 — While cleaning a fiber optic connector, do not touch the surface of

the connector with your fingers.

Warning 2 — Always use the proper cleaning materials, otherwise the fiber

optic equipment may become contaminated.

Determine whether the connector is contaminated (does not pass acceptance

criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”). a If yes, go to step 8.

b If no, go to step 7.

7 Reconnect the connector and receptacle.

Warning — Be careful to maintain a bend radius of no less than 3.8 cm

(1.5 in) when connecting the fiber optic cable. Too small of a bend radius
in the cable can result in damage to the optic fiber.

i Check that fiber optic connection is functioning properly.

Note 1 — Do not use optical devices that do not function properly.

Note 2 — In a fiber distribution network, it is an industry best practice to

use APC-based connections or spliced connections to avoid any potential
network problems. Nokia recommends that the unused ports of splitters be
terminated into an APC-based connector.

ii Go to step 17.

8 Clean the connector or receptacle by gently wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces using

a cleaner cassette or a dry lint-free cloth.

9 Inspect the connector or receptacle.

Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass

acceptance criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”) a If yes, go to step 10. b If no,

go to step 7.

WPON Product Overview Fiber optic maintenance

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 83

10 If the connector or receptacle fails the inspection, clean the connector or receptacle by

gently wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces using a cleaner cassette that has a drop of
optical-grade isopropyl alcohol applied to it. Alternately, use a lint-free cloth that has a drop
of optical-grade isopropyl alcohol applied to it.

11 Remove any alcohol residue by gently wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces with a dry

section of cleaner cassette, or a lint-free cloth.

12 Inspect the connector or receptacle.

Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance

criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”) a If yes, go to step 13.

b If no, go to step 7.

13 If necessary, repeat step 8 through step 12 until the connector or receptacle passes the

inspection.

14 If the connector or receptacle continues to fail inspection after several attempts at

cleaning, use the canned, compressed air to remove any dust or debris.

15 Inspect the connector or receptacle.

Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass

acceptance criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”) a If yes, go to step 16. b If no,

go to step 7.

16 If the connector or receptacle fails the inspection, repeat step 14 through step 15 again

until inspection is passed or fiber optic device is considered damaged and unusable.

Note —

You may need to open the cleaner cassette window by hand to

apply the alcohol to the cassette.

Note —

Do not allow the extension tube of the can to touch the fiber.
