----End5.1.5 Installing Cable Accessories5.1.5.1 Precautions for Installing Cable AccessoriesToolsNOTEThe illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations, but the installation methods are thesame. For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In theactual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment.Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation proceduredescribed here.Bending RadiusUnless otherwise specified, bending radius (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirementslisted in Table 5-14.Table 5-14 Bending radius of cables or fibersCable or Fiber Bending Radius (R)Ordinary cable In normal cases, R ≥ 2d. When the cable isconnected with a connector, R ≥ 5d.Fiber R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90° NOTEThe letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.Precautions for InstallationlHold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables themselves when installing orremoving cable components.lDo not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Use a dedicated tool topull out the connector. Install the connector again after you check that the pins areinserted properly.lBefore tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properlyconnected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head orPhillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannotbe screwed into the tapped hole, determine the reason and try again. Do not apply toomuch force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.lWhen removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such ascable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.AP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.94
lDo not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.lCover the idle fiber connectors with dust caps. Remove the dust caps before using thefiber connectors.Requirements for Cable RoutinglTo protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective ringsin the holes.lTo ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep cable joints slack. After connectingmultiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoidgenerating stress.lBind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.lKeep cables away from moveable components such as doors.lSharp objects must not touch cable wiring to prevent damage to cables.lTo protect power cables, route power cables of the active and standby power modulesseparately.5.1.5.2 Installing Power Adapters5.1.5.2.1 Installing the OT TerminalProcedurelInstall an OT terminal.a.

Here, the DC power cables also include powercables and PGND cables.The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cableties. For details of the labels, see Table 5-31.Table 5-31 Contents of the labelContent MeaningMN(BC)-B--48VnMN(BC): BC is written right under MN.B: chassis number, numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, forexample, 01.N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-up and left-to-right orders.On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column numberof the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet anddistribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or theconnector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It isunnecessary to identify the row and column number for BGND andPGND.MN(BC)-B-BGNDMN(BC)-B-PGND The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cablewhereas information about the local end is unnecessary. That is, the label only carries locationinformation about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. TableAP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.142
5-31 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on otherDC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties arebundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text onthe labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure 5-166.Figure 5-166 Example of the labels for DC power cables The meaning of the label in Figure 5-166 is as follows:lOn the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that thecable is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector in row B of -48 V bus barin the cabinet in row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.lOn the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DCsupply, connected to DC power socket 2 in row B, column 03 in the equipment room.NOTEIn the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room,every terminal block on the -48 V connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in the abovelabel of "A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the terminal block.PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited.Therefore, it makes no difference which terminal is connected to them. It is only necessary togive the row and column of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serialnumber of the terminal block on the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loadedcabinet side is "A01-BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGNDcopper bar in the power distribution box in row A, column 01 in the machine room.Information on the labels for PGND cables should be given in a similar way.5.4.5.2 Engineering Labels for AC Power CablesThese labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply tocabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables andrelated PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need tocontain only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cableties. For details, see Table 5-32.AP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.143

The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the powersocket; information about the local end is unnecessary.Make sure that labels are affixed in the correct direction. That is, after the cable ties arebundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text onthe labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction, as shown in Figure 5-167.Figure 5-167 Labels for AC power cablesLabel on the loaded cabinet side(indicating the position of the cableon the power distribution box)Label on the distribution box side(indicating the position of the cableon the loaded cabinet side) Meaning of the label in Figure 5-167.lOn the equipment cabinet side, the label marked "A01-AC1" indicates that the powercable is connected to the first AC power socket of row A and column 01 in theequipment room.lOn the power socket side, the label marked "B01-AC1" indicates that the power cable isconnected to the first AC power socket in the cabinet of row B and column 01 in theequipment room.5.5 Guide to Using Optical ModulesAP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.144
Common Faults of an Optical ModuleNOTEThe system may fail to obtain information about non-Huawei-certified optical modules or obtain incorrectinformation. You are advised to use Huawei-certified optical modules. Obtain the electronic label of theoptical module and contact technical support personnel to confirm whether it is a Huawei-certified opticalmodule.1. An optical module is not completely installed in position.If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is notsecured, the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module worksfor a long time, it will be ejected under external stress.2. The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated.If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulateon the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced,optical signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damagedpermanently.3. An optical module is burnt.If high-power optical signals (caused by an optical time domain reflectometer or self-loop test) are transmitted through an optical module that is used for long-distancetransmission but no optical attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overloadpower of the avalanche photodiode (APD). Then the optical module is burnt.The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even causepermanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.Measures to Prevent a Loosened Optical Module1. When installing an optical module, insert it in position. If you hear a click or feel a slightshake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured.If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in goodcontact with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected butoptical signals will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the opticalmodule is shaken or hit.2. Figure 5-168 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed.When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At thistime, the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, trypulling it out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulledout, it is secured.Figure 5-168 State of the release handle Close the release handle Open the release handleAP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.145
Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination1. Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector beforeinserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against contamination on thesurface of the optical connector.Figure 5-169 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissuesNOTEPlace at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 5-169, wipe the end ofan optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move theconnector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.2. Cover an unused optical module with a protective cap to prevent dust, as shown inFigure 5-170.Figure 5-170 Installing a protective cap If no protective cap is available, use fibers to protect the optical module, as shown inFigure 5-171.Figure 5-171 Using fibers to protect an optical module 3. Cover unused optical connectors with protective caps, as shown in Figure 5-172, andthen lay out fibers on the fiber rack or coil them in a fiber management tray to preventfibers from being squeezed.AP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.146
Figure 5-172 Installing a protective cap on a fiber 4. If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is notcovered with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptaclewith a cotton swab, as shown in Figure 5-173. Clean an optical connector with cleaningtissues.Figure 5-173 Cleaning a receptacle with a cotton swab NOTICEWhen cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle.Do not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged.5. If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method toclean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility ofcontamination can be excluded.Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt1. Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or theattenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module.Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt.2. When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the opticalconnector instead of the optical attenuator.Precautions1. The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages tothe receptacle.AP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.147
2. Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is,multimode fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single modefibers must be inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into anoptical module of a different mode, faults may occur. For example, optical signals willbe lost.5.6 Fault Tag*Customer name:Address:Contact person:Tel.: Fax:Category*: □ RMA □ Return □ AnalysisBOMCodeProductDescriptionBarCode*FaultOccurringDate*Descriptionof the FaultPhenomena*CategoryNo.*SoftwareVersion* Reasons for Repairing (Category No.):Category No. includes the following eight types:F001 - Wear out damaged (◊ In warranty Period ◊ Out of warranty period)F002 - Deployment damagedF003 - Intransit damagedF004 - Version upgradeF005 - Batch replaceF007 - Overdue spare parts inspectingF008 - OthersF011 - Running circumstance changeAP4050DN-EHardware Installation and Maintenance Guide 5 AppendixIssue 05 (2018-02-02) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.148
