The NCS 1000 32-channel mux/demux patch panels have two grounding options on the left and right rear

side. You can choose from the two grounding options to ground the patch panels. The rear side of the patch

panels, adapter brackets, the straight adapter brackets, and the Z-shaped adapter brackets are unpainted and

treated with conductive finishing. The grounding lug has provisions for connecting a minimum ground cable

of 14 AWG.

Rack Mount Warnings

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special

precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure

your safety:

•This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with

the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

•If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing

the unit in the rack.

Statement 1006

Warning

To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the

handles on modules, such as power supplies, fans, or cards. These types of handles are not designed to

support the weight of the unit. Statement 1032.

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire or bodily injury, do not operate the unit in an area that exceeds the maximum

recommended ambient temperature of 40 degree C. Statement 1047.

Warning

The patch panel is a new NCS 1000 32-Channel Mux/Demux that can be installed either above or below the

DWDM generating equipment according to the local site practice.

The mux/demux panel is 1 rack unit (RU) high. Each package includes one set of the following brackets:

• 19 inch (482.6 mm) or 23 inch (584.2 mm) reversible (two-way) mounting brackets that can be rotated

to fit either rack size. These reversible brackets are used for EIA and IEC standard racks.

• ETSI brackets that are used for ETSI standard racks.

The unit is shipped with the mounting brackets in the 19 inch (482.6 mm) position.

Note

The mux/demux panel is passive and requires no power cabling or connections. All connectors are on the

front panel and are equipped with LC/MPO bulkhead adapters and with a USB Type A receptacle connector

for Inventory purpose. Fiber-optic cables equipped with the corresponding (LC/MPO) connector type are

used. The module ports are labelled on the front panel. For more information on the port assignments of the

module, see Cisco NCS 1010 Datasheet.

Use only the fastening hardware provided with the mux/demux panel to prevent loosening, deterioration, and

electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.

Caution

When mounting the mux/demux panel in a frame with a nonconductive coating (such as paint, lacquer, or

enamel) use either the thread-forming screws that are provided with the shipping kit or remove the coating

from the threads to ensure electrical continuity.

Caution

This task describes the steps to install the mux/demux panels.

Before you begin

Ensure the rack is compatible. See the Rack Compatibility, on page 1 section.

Procedure

Step 1 Set the adapter brackets to the rack you are using. See Install the Adapter Brackets, on page 5.

The mux/demux panels can be mounted on 19 inch (482.6 mm), 23 inch (584.2 mm) EIA standard

racks, on a 19 inch (482.6 mm) IEC rack, or on a 600 x 600 mm or 600 x 300 mm ETSI racks.

Note

A single mux/demux panel is 17.21 inches (437.1 mm) wide and occupies 1 RU in a rack.

The mux/demux panel adapter brackets can be mounted such that the mux/demux panels project either 2.25,

5, 6, or 6.5 inches from the front of the EIA standard racks fixing plane, or 40 mm from the front of the IEC

or ETSI standard racks fixing plane.

Step 2 Secure the unit to the rack using the mounting screws.

Step 3 Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws to a torque of 4.65 N-m (41 in-lb).

Step 4 Establish grounding for the mux/demux panel. The ground position is present on the rear side of the mux/demux

panel. For more information, see Ground NCS 1000 32-Channel Mux/Demux Patch Panels, on page 3.

When the mux/demux panel is installed in the ETSI 600x300 cabinet, only the lateral ground position

must be used.

Note

Install and Route Fiber-Optic and USB Cables

All connectors are on the front of the mux/demux patch panel and are equipped with LC bulkhead adapters

and with a USB Type A receptacle connector for inventory purpose. For port label description, see Port Label

Descriptions. The LC-LC patch cords are used to connect the mux/demux patch panel to the NCS 1010 chassis.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams

or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Warning

Always clean all fiber connectors thoroughly before making the connection with the mating adapter. Very

small particles can permanently damage the end of the mating fiber inside the patch panel, which makes

regular cleaning imperative. For cleaning instructions see Clean Fiber-Optic Cable Connectors, on page 12.

Note

The mux/demux patch panel has LC bulkhead adapters for optical connections. Always use fiber-optic cables

equipped with the corresponding LC connector type. Using any other type of connector results in damage to

the connector or adapter, or both.

Caution

This task describes the steps to install and route the fiber-optic and USB cables from the mux/demux patch

panel.

Procedure

Step 1 To connect the fibers as appropriate, perform the following:

a) Remove the LC adapter cap from the LC-LC adapter of the mux/demux patch panel.

b) Place the LC/UPC cable connector in front of the corresponding bulkhead adapter on the front panel of

the mux/demux patch panel.

c) Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the slot in the receiving adapter.

d) Gently push the cable connector into the adapter until you hear a click, which indicates that the latching

system is engaged.

e) Route the cables through the left or right fiber holder clip.

f) (Optional) Secure the fibers further by placing them into one or more adhesive clips. The adhesive clips

can be placed on the fiber management plate as per the actual installation conditions.

g) Place the extra fiber length of the two LC-LC patch cords used to connect the patch panel with its plugged

mux/demux patch panel.

Step 2 To secure the fibers, bundle the fibers using one of the four velcro strips that is provided.
