Optical Connection


Warning Infra-red laser energy may be present on the cable connected to the receiving (input) connector. The transmitting (output) optical fiber connector and the monitoring (output monitor) connector are equipped with shutters that automatically close when a cable is removed. To avoid potential damage to the eyes, do not look directly into an optical fiber cable or a connector (whether shuttered or not). When an optical cable is not attached, place the supplied protective cap over the cable's connector. The output monitor output connector should be capped when not in use.


Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.


Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

To connect the customer-supplied optical fiber cable to the SC/UPC optical ports, follow these steps:


Step 1   Connect the input optical fiber cable to the input connector (see Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3). Avoid making sharp bends in the cable.

Step 2   Connect the output optical fiber cable to the output connector (see Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3). Avoid making sharp bends in the cable.

AC Power Connection

The Cisco ONS 15501 AC can be powered directly from the facility VAC input through the Cisco ONS 15501 120-240 VAC power supply. This section describes how to connect AC power to the chassis.


Caution   Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving clean power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner, if necessary, to ensure proper voltages and power levels in the source voltage.


Caution   Use only the hardware provided with the Cisco ONS 15501. Failure to use the provided hardware may result in unintended damage. If hardware is lost, contact Cisco Systems for a replacement.


Note   The AC power cord that connects to the Cisco ONS 15501 120-240 VAC power supply power cord and then to the building VAC is not shipped with the Cisco ONS 15501. You must order this power cord separately.

There are six styles of AC-input power supply power cords available (differing in plug type); make sure you have the correct style for your site (see Figure 2-4). All AC-input power supply power cords measure 8 feet (2.5 m). We recommend that you do the following:
