. 25 . Safety and equipment care information

This section contains important safety and regulatory information. Read this section before you install small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, 10 gigabit SFP (XFP) transceivers, or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC).

Navigation • “Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines” (page 25) • “Care of fiber optic equipment” (page 26)

Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines: • GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. For more information about how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see “Electrostatic discharge prevention” (page 25). • Dust contamination can reduce the performance of optical parts in GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, or after 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 you handle or install 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 must touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor. • Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation — SFP, XFP, GBIC, and OADM Hardware Components NN46205-320 02.03 28 October 2009

. 26 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 You must keep fiber optic equipment connections clean and damage-free. Use the information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber optic equipment.

Care of ﬁber optic equipment navigation • “Fiber optic cable care” (page 26) • “Fiber optic connector care” (page 27) • “Cleaning single connectors” (page 28) • “Cleaning duplex connectors” (page 29) • “Cleaning receptacles” (page 30)

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 harder than you do a cable containing copper wire of comparable size. • Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on a 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.

. Care of fiber optic equipment 27

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 fiber optic connectors 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 pairs. A connector must be absolutely clean before you insert it into a transmitter or receiver.

Never clean an optical connector while it carries light. Optical power can cause ignition of the cleaning material when it contacts the end of the optical connector and destroy the connector. Typical cleaning materials, for example, tissues saturated with alcohol, combust almost instantaneously after you expose them to optical power levels of +15 dBm or higher.

Visually inspect the connector to determine cleanliness and to determine if it needs replacing. You must replace a connector that has a scratch across the core, or a scratch that appears to end in the core.

The proper connector cleaning method depends on the connector contaminants: • Judge cleanliness by visual inspection with a fiber microscope. First inspect the connector, and then clean as required. WARNING Risk of eye injury When you inspect a connector, ensure that light sources are off. The light source in fiber optic cables can damage your eyes.

• If you suspect only the possibility of dust particles (for example, which can occur when you leave a connector uncapped in a clean environment), use high-quality canned air or a reel cleaner, for

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation — SFP, XFP, GBIC, and OADM Hardware Components NN46205-320 02.03 28 October 2009

. 28 Safety and equipment care information

example, a Cletop, to clean the connector. A reel cleaner is a good choice to ensure that no dust contaminates the connector. • If the connector is visibly dirty or you suspect it to be contaminated by chemicals (for example, matching gel), use high-quality alcohol and canned air to clean the connector. This method is the most thorough cleaning method. In some cases, a reel cleaner can suffice.

The more surface manipulation you apply 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 connectors from collecting dust, cover them 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 you suspect more than dust contamination.

Prerequisites • You need a lens-grade, lint-free tissue,for example, Kimwipes. • You need an optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (98% or more pure). • You need a 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. • You need a fiber optic microscope to inspect 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.

. 34 Small form factor pluggable transceivers

Depending on the product, SFPs are available for cable distances of up to 100 meters (m), 550 m, 10 kilometers (km), 40 km, 70 km, and 120 km. 2 Determine the required media and connector type. You need fiber optic cable for a reach over 100 m. Possible media include CAT5, single mode fiber, and multimode fiber. Possible connectors include Lucent connector (LC), MT-RJ, and RJ-45. 3 If the media is optical fiber, determine wavelength restrictions or requirements. To expand available bandwidth on a common optical fiber, use Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs. 4 Determine if you need digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM). Not all SFPs or products support DDM. 5 Use the following job aids to determine the appropriate SFP for your application.

--End--

Job aid The following table describes the reach provided by various SFPs. This table is informational only—not all Nortel Ethernet switching and routing products support all the SFPs listed here.

SFP model Common application 1000BASE-T Lowest-cost gigabit Ethernet solution. Up to 100 m reach over Category 5 (CAT5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP). 1000BASE-SX Well-suited for campus local area networks (LAN) and intrabuilding links. Up to 275 or 550 m reach (fiber-dependent) over a fiber pair. 1000BASE-LX Up to 10 km reach over a single mode fiber (SMF) pair. Up to 550 m reach over a multimode fiber (MMF) pair. 1000BASE-XD Up to 40 km reach over a single mode fiber pair. 1000BASE-ZX Up to 70 km reach over a single mode fiber pair. 1000BASE-BX Up to 10 km reach. Bidirectional over one single mode fiber. 1000BASE-EX Up to 120 km reach over a single mode fiber pair.

. Selecting an SFP 35

The SFPs described in this section do not have Digital Diagnostic Interface capability, and are RoHS -E5 compliant.

The system also supports CWDM SFPS. CWDM technology consolidates multiple optical channels on a common optical fiber. CWDM uses multiple wavelengths to expand available bandwidth.

CWDM SFPs support high speed data communications for Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). The system uses a grid of eight CWDM optical wavelengths in both ring and point-to-point configurations. All components are color-coded by wavelength.

ATTENTION The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber optic cable used.

For more information about specifications for these SFPs, see “SFP specifications” (page 63).

Job aid For Release 5.1, Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to monitor SFP and XFP laser operating characteristics. Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 support for Digital Diagnostic Interfaces (DDI—an interface that supports DDM) involves data collection and alarm and warning monitoring. Static data collection includes 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 switch only checks warning and alarm status bits during initialization and during requests for dynamic data. If an alarm or warning is asserted or cleared, the switch logs a message and generates a trap. The switch maps DDM warning and alarm messages into Warning and Fatal message categories for system logging purposes. If you activate the ddm-alarm-portdown option, DDI shuts down the corresponding port if a high or low alarm occurs on the port.

For more information about how to configure DDM, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Performance Management (NN46205-704).

The SFPs described in this section are all RoHS -E6 compliant.

The following table lists and describes the Nortel SFP models with DDI capability. All the optical SFPs use LC connectors.
