Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines

Before you install an SFP or XFP, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines:

•

SFPs and XFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see “Electrostatic discharge prevention”

(page 9).

•

SFPs and XFPs use optical parts whose performance can be reduced by dust contamination. When you store an SFP or XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over the 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.

10 Safety and equipment care information

• 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 connections 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 in 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 any harder 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.

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

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.

Care of fiber optic equipment 11

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.

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 ceaner (for example, a Cletop) to

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series

Installation — SFPs and XFPs

NN47205-301 02.01

12 Safety and equipment care information

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 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 is 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.

• fiber optic microscope for inspecting connectors

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.

To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when working with the canned air duster.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series

To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl alcohol.
