Installation Overview

1

This chapter provides an overview of the installation procedure for the
Invisible Fiber™ unit (IFU). In addition, this chapter describes the following:

 IFU Link Manager
 Power source
 Cables
 System grounding and surge suppression

Installation Overview

IFUs are loaded with default system attributes at the factory. At the
customer’s designated staging area, the customer-specific attributes identified
in the site database are downloaded to the IFU, which is then ready for
installation. At the installation site, the IFU is installed on a mounting bracket,
aligned, and commissioned. When all installation tests are complete and
expected results are achieved on all IFU sites, the network is ready for
customer acceptance.

Site Engineering Folder

Before installing the IFU, the site must be prepared with the appropriate
cables, demarcation box, and any equipment as detailed in the site
engineering folder. (Refer to the Invisible Fiber™ SONET OC-3 Site
Evaluation Guide for 28 GHz Applications for details about the contents of
the site engineering folder.)

The site engineering folder is referenced throughout this document. Photos
and diagrams of the site are included in the folder.

28 GHz SONET OC-3 IFU Installation - R1.0 1-1

Installation Overview

IFU Link Manager

The IFU Link Manager is a local element management software application
that helps you configure and commission the IFU. You use this application to
complete the following procedures:

 IFU configuration
 Antenna alignment

Power Source

The IFUs require a – 48 Vdc power source. The specifications of the power
source are defined in the site engineering folder.

Cabling

IFU installations require the following two types of cables:

Power Cable

The power cable is outdoor/indoor rated. The power cable contains four
12-AWG conductors.

Fiber Optic Cable

For SONET networks, the IFU requires a multi-mode and single-mode fiber
optic cables (see Figure 1-1).

Power

The power cable connects the IFU to the – 48 Vdc power source.

Fiber Optic

The fiber optic cable connects the IFU to the site equipment cabinet.

System Grounding and Surge Protection

System Grounding and Surge Protection

The IFU grounding system has two conceptually distinct, but electrically
interconnected functional subsystems, for connection to “earth ground.” The
two functional subsystems are:

 Earth ground (complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for

equipment grounding systems).

 Surge protection.

Earth Ground

The IFU has an external electrical interconnection point for connecting the
IFU ground subsystems to earth ground.

Surge Protection

The sole purpose of surge protection is to transport lightning-related currents
to the earth ground. During site installation, surge suppression devices are
installed in line with the power and alarm conductors to assist in protecting
equipment.
