Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety,
and environmental guidelines:
•
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To learn how to prevent
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see "Electrostatic discharge
prevention" (page 11).
11
•
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs use optical connectors whose performance
can be reduced by dust contamination. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or
XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a
dust cover over the GBIC, SFP, or XFP optical bore.
•
Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
•
Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use
a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and
a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be
grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
•
Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
Installation — SFP, XFP, and GBIC Hardware Components
Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and
use only a static-shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling.
•
Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or
styrofoam because these materials carry static electricity that damages
the equipment.
Care of fiber optic equipment
Fiber optic equipment must be kept clean and damage-free. Use the
information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber optic
equipment.

Fiber optic cable care
Although the glass fiber of fiber optic cable is protected with reinforcing
material and plastic insulation, it is subject to damage. Use the following
precautions to avoid damaging the glass fiber.
•
Do not kink, knot, or vigorously flex the cable.
•
Do not bend the cable to less than a 40 mm radius.
•
Do not stand on fiber optic cable; keep the cable off the floor.
•
Do not pull fiber optic cable anyharder than you would a cable containing
copper wire of comparable size.
•Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on any section
of the cable.
•
Place protective caps on fiber optic connectors that are not in use.
•
Store unused fiber optic patch cables in a cabinet, on a cable rack, or
flat on a shelf.
Frequent overstressing of fiber optic cable causes progressive degeneration
that leads to failure.
If you suspect damage to a fiber optic cable, either due to mishandling or
an abnormally high error rate observed in one direction, reverse the cable
pairs. If the high error rate appears in the other direction, replace the cable.
Installation — SFP, XFP, and GBIC Hardware Components
Do not crush fiber optic cable. If fiber optic cable is in the same
tray or duct with large, heavy electrical cables, it can be damaged
by the weight of the electrical cable.
Fiber optic connector care
Before connecting them to transmission equipment, test equipment, patch
panels, or other connectors, ensure fiber optic connectors are clean. The
performance of an optical fiber connector depends on how clean the
connector and coupling are at the time of connection.
A damaged or dirty connector can damage a connector with which it is
mated. A connector must be absolutely clean before it is inserted into a
transmitter or receiver.
Never clean an optical connector that is carrying light. Optical power can
cause ignition of the cleaning material when it contacts the end of the
optical connector, destroying the connector. Typical cleaning materials, for
example, tissues saturated with alcohol, combust almost instantaneously
when exposed to optical power levels of +15 dBm or higher.
Care of fiber optic equipment 13
Visually inspect the connector to determine cleanliness and to determine if
it needs replacing. Any connector that has a scratch across the core, or a
scratch that appears to end in the core, must be replaced.
The proper connector cleaning method depends on the connector
contaminants:
•Cleanliness is best judged by visual inspection with a fiber microscope.
First inspect the connector, then clean as required.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury
When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are
off. The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage
your eyes.
•
If you suspect only the possibility of dust particles (for example, which
can occur when a connector is left uncapped in a clean environment),
use high-quality canned air or a reel cleaner (for example, a Cletop) to
clean the connector. A reel cleaner is a good choice for making sure that
no dust contaminates the connector.
•
If the connector is visibly dirty or suspected to be contaminated by
chemicals (for example, matching gel), use high-quality alcohol and
Installation — SFP, XFP, and GBIC Hardware Components
canned air to clean the connector (see the following procedure). This
is the most thorough cleaning method. In some cases, a reel cleaner
may suffice.
Always keep in mind that the more surface manipulation applied to the
connector, the more likely the connector to become damaged.
When you insert a connector ferrule into a connector or adapter, ensure that
the ferrule tip does not touch the outside of the mating connector or adapter.
This can produce scratches and dirt deposits on the connector.
To help prevent them from collecting dust, ensure connectors are covered
when not in use. To avoid the transfer of oil or other contaminants from
your fingers to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors with care. Do
not touch the connector end face.
Cleaning single connectors
Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the
connector.
This procedure is appropriate when more than dust contamination is
suspected.
Prerequisites
•
lens-grade, lint-free tissue (for example, Kimwipes)
•
optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (98% or more pure)
•
high-quality canned compressed air with extension tube Compressed air
must be free of dust, water and oil, or filmy deposits or scratches on the
surface of the connector can result.
•

Procedure job aid: SFP models with DDI support
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows the Metro Ethernet Routing
Switch 8600 to monitor SFP laser operating characteristics. Metro Ethernet
Routing Switch 8600 support for Digital Diagnostic Interfaces (DDI—an
interface that supports DDM) involvesdata collection and alarm and warning
monitoring. Static data collection includes the SFP vendor information, DDI
support information, and DDI alarm and warning threshold values. Dynamic
data collection includes temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current,
transmit power, and receive power. DDM works at any time during active
laser operation without affecting data traffic.
The warning and alarm status bits are only checked during initialization
and during requests for dynamic data. If an alarm or warning is asserted
or cleared, a message is logged and a trap is generated. DDM warning
Installation — SFP, XFP, and GBIC Hardware Components
and alarm messages are mapped into WARNING and FATAL message
categories for system logging purposes. If an alarm or warning is generated,
the software does not automatically shut down the port.
CWDM SFPs are also supported. CWDM SFPs are designed to support
high-speed data communications. A CWDM system uses a grid of
wavelengths to provide multiple channels for both ring and point-to-point
configurations. All components are color-coded by wavelength.
Any DDM SFP can be used in any Metro Ethernet Services Unit 1800 or
1850 device or Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module that supports
SFPs. The optical functions of the SFP are supported. Access to the DDI
information is only provided for:

cable. The GBIC operates in full-duplex mode only. The part number of
this GBIC is AA1419004-E5.
Installation — SFP, XFP, and GBIC Hardware Components
When shorter lengths of single mode fiber cable are used, there is
a risk of overloading the receiver. It may be necessary to insert
an in-line optical attenuator in the link to prevent overloading, as
follows:
•
Insert a 10 dB in-line optical attenuator between the
fiber optic cable plant and the receiving port on the
1000BASE-ZX GBIC, at each end of the link, if the fiber
optic cable span is less than 25 km.
•
Insert a 5 dB in-line optical attenuator between the
fiber optic cable plant and the receiving port on the
1000BASE-ZX GBIC, at each end of the link, if the fiber
optic cable span is less than 50 km.
The following table describes standards, connectors, cabling, and distance
