Introduction This section describes how the Nortel Networks* coarse wavelength division multiplexed Gigabit Interface Converter (CWDM GBIC) works within the optical routing system. It also provides a list of CWDM GBICs by wavelength and shows how they are labeled and color-coded. CWDM GBIC description CWDM GBICs are transceivers that link Gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber optic networks. WDM technology consolidates multiple optical channels, using specific wavelengths to expand availabl

Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines Before installing a CWDM GBIC, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines: • CWDM GBICs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow your normal board and component handling procedures. • CWDM GBICs are dust sensitive. When you store a CWDM GBIC, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep the dust cover over the CWDM GBIC’s optical bores. • To clean contaminan

Figure 3 Inserting a CWDM GBIC into the switching module 9708FA Removing a CWDM GBIC Use the following procedure to remove a CWDM GBIC. When storing a CWDM GBIC, place a dust cover over the fiber optic bores. Note: When disposing of a CWDM GBIC, comply with all national laws and regulations. To remove a CWDM GBIC from the switching module: 1 Disconnect the fiber cable from the CWDM GBIC connector. 2 Grasp the extraction tabs (Figure 1) located on either side of the CWDM GBIC between yo

Note: A minimum attenuation of 5 dB must be present between the transmitter and receiver. To avoid receiver saturation, you must insert a minimum attenuation of 5 dB when: • testing the GBIC in loopback mode • using short runs of fiber with no intermediate CWDM OADM or CWDM OMUX To determine the expected signal loss for a CWDM OADM, CWDM OMUX, or fiber length, see Installation and Networking Guidelines for Optical Routing, part number 212257-A. Given a loss budget of 24 dB and assuming
