Fiber Specifications
The following table presents the fiber specifications. The Cisco SCE8000 may be ordered with either
multi-mode or single mode transceivers. The transceiver type is indicated on the front panel under the
ports. Note that all transceivers on any individual Cisco SCE8000 are the same mode, either 850nm
multi-mode OR 1310nm single mode.
Optical Device Maintenance
Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.
How to Cable the 10GBE Line Interface Ports
Step 1 Take the appropriate fiber optic cable (see Fiber Specifications, page 6-10) and plug it into the
appropriate port on the 10GBE interface on the SPA module in slot #3 of the Cisco SCE8000. (See
Figure 6-1 below.)
Make sure to push on the connector until you hear a click, which indicates that the connector is fully
inserted and secured in the receptacle. Always make sure that you insert the connector completely into
the socket.
