1Installation Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the installation procedure for the

Invisible Fiber™ unit (IFU). In addition, this chapter describes:

IFU Link Manager

Power source

Cables

System grounding and surge suppression

Installation Overview

IFUs are loaded with default system attributes at the factory. At the

customer’s designated staging area, the customer-specific attributes,

identified in the site database, are downloaded to the IFU, which is then ready

for installation. At the installation site, the IFU is installed on a mounting

bracket, aligned, and commissioned. When all installation tests are complete

and expected results are achieved on all IFU sites, the network is ready for

customer acceptance.

Site Engineering Folder

Before installing the IFU, the site must be prepared with the appropriate

cables, demarcation box, and any equipment as detailed in the site

engineering folder. (Refer to the Invisible Fiber™ Fast Ethernet Site

Evaluation Guide for details about the contents of the site engineering folder).

The site engineering folder is referenced throughout this document. Photos

and diagrams of the site are included in the folder.

IFU Link Manager

The IFU Link Manager is a local element management software application

that helps you configure and commission the IFU. You use this application to

complete the following procedures:

IFU configuration

Antenna alignment

Link commissioning tests

Power Source

The IFUs require a – 48 Vdc power source. The specifications of the power

source are defined in the site engineering folder.

Cabling

IFU installations require three types of cables:

Power

Connects the IFU to the – 48 Vdc power source.

Alarm

Connects the IFU to customer defined alarm points (customer

option).

Fiber Optic

Connects the IFU to the site equipment cabinet.

Power Cable

The power cable is outdoor/indoor rated. The power cable contains four 12

AWG conductors.

Alarm Cable

The alarm cable is outdoor/indoor rated. The alarm cable contains eight 20

AWG conductors.

Fiber Optic Cable

For Fast Ethernet networks, the fiber optic cable (see Figure 1-1) consists of

eight multimode optical fibers. This cable connects the IFU to an indoor fiber

patch panel.

Breakout jackets provide strain relief. Each pair of fibers is connected

together from the breakout jacket to within three inches of the connector.

System Grounding and Surge Protection

The IFU grounding system has two conceptually distinct, but electrically

interconnected functional subsystems, for connection to “earth ground.” The

two functional subsystems are:

Earth ground (complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for

equipment grounding systems).

Surge protection.

Earth Ground

The IFU has an external electrical interconnection point for connecting the

IFU ground subsystems to earth ground.

Surge Protection

The sole purpose of surge protection is to transport lightning-related currents

to the earth ground. During site installation, surge suppression devices are

installed inline with the power and alarm conductors to assist in protecting

equipment.

Installing the Fiber Optic Cable

There are two fiber optic cable routes as follows:

The IFU Alpha fiber optic cable runs from the IFU mounting location

to the site equipment cabinet.

The IFU Beta fiber optic cable runs from the IFU mounting location

to the site equipment cabinet.

To install the fiber optic cable:

WA RN IN G : Never touch exposed fiber with any part of

your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are

difficult to detect and remove.

AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais laisser une fibre nue

entrer en contact avec une partie quelconque du corps. Des

fragments de fibre peuvent entrer dans la peau, et sont

difficiles à déceler et à enlever.

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye

exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail.

The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible,

but can cause serious injury to the eye.

AVERTISSEMENT : Rayonnement laser invisible.

Éviter l’exposition directe des yeux à l’extrémité d’une

fibre, d’un cordon à fibres ou d’une fibre amorce. La

lumière infrarouge utilisée dans les systèmes à fibres

optiques est invisible, mais peut provoquer des lésions

graves aux yeux.

CAUTION: Ensure the outside optical fiber connectors

are environmentally protected. Failure to do so may cause

contamination of the fiber surfaces.

MISE EN GARDE : S’assurer que les raccords extérieurs

fibre optique sont protégés contre l’environnement.

L’absence d’une telle protection peut entraîner la

contamination des surfaces des fibres.

to the site equipment cabinet. Refer to the site drawing in the site

engineering folder for the specific route.

NOTE: Allow an extra three-foot service loop at both ends.

Use large radius bends to avoid crimping and kinking the

cables during the cable routing.

2Connect the IFU fiber optic cables to the rear side of the patch panel as

shown in Figure 3-8 and Table 3-5.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fiber optic cable

damage, use the following bend radius guidelines for

indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable:

Long-term (installed): bend radius is equal to 10 times

the diameter of the cable.

Short-term (during installation): bend radius is equal to

20 times the diameter of the cable.

MISE EN GARDE : Pour réduire le risque de dommage

aux câbles à fibres optiques, suivre les consignes suivantes

en matière de rayon de courbure des câbles à fibres

optiques extérieurs ou intérieurs :

To clean the fiber optic cable:

WA RN IN G : Never touch exposed fiber with any part of

your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are

difficult to detect and remove.

AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais laisser une fibre nue

entrer en contact avec une partie quelconque du corps. Des

fragments de fibre peuvent entrer dans la peau, et sont

difficiles à déceler et à enlever.

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye

exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail.

The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible,

but can cause serious injury to the eye.

AVERTISSEMENT : Rayonnement laser invisible.

Éviter l’exposition directe des yeux à l’extrémité d’une

fibre, d’un cordon à fibres ou d’une fibre amorce. La

lumière infrarouge utilisée dans les systèmes à fibres

optiques est invisible, mais peut provoquer des lésions

graves aux yeux.

CAUTION: Ensure the outside optical fiber connectors

are environmentally protected. Failure to do so may cause

contamination of the fiber surfaces.

MISE EN GARDE : S’assurer que les raccords extérieurs

fibre optique sont protégés contre l’environnement.

L’absence d’une telle protection peut entraîner la

contamination des surfaces des fibres.

Servicing an IFU

Servicing an IFU is done at the factory. To service the IFU, remove it and

replace it with a new IFU. Send the IFU needing service to the factory.

Removing an IFU

Removing an IFU is a two-part process:

1Removing the power and cables from the IFU.

2Removing the IFU from the mounting bracket.

Removing Cables

To remove power and cables from the IFU:

CAUTION: Ensure that the – 48 Vdc power source is set

to the OFF position before attaching power cables to the

Invisible Fiber™ Unit.

MISE EN GARDE : S’assurer que le bloc d’alimentation

– 48 V CC est en position HORS TENSION avant

d’attacher les câbles d’alimentation à l’unité Invisible

Fibermd.

WA RN IN G : Never touch exposed fiber with any part of

your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are

difficult to detect and remove.

AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais laisser une fibre nue

entrer en contact avec une partie quelconque du corps. Des

fragments de fibre peuvent entrer dans la peau, et sont

difficiles à déceler et à enlever.

Removing an IFU from a Mounting Bracket

To remove an IFU from its mounting bracket:

1Remove the nut (6), lock washer (5), flat washer (4), and earth ground

strap from the bottom bolt of the mounting bracket (1) (see Figure 5-2).

2Remove two snap rings (3) from mounting studs (7) as shown in

Figure 5-2.

3Disengage the top IFU clamp and remove the IFU (2) from the mounting

bracket (1) as shown in Figure 5-2.

4Replace dust caps on exposed IFU and cable connectors.

CAUTION: Lifting hazard: Two people are required to

lift the Invisible Fiber™ unit. Grasp the Invisible Fiber™

unit underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To

prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your

legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the Invisible

Fiber™ unit and components, never attempt to lift the

radio by the attached cables.

MISE EN GARDE : Danger de levage. Il faut deux

personnes pour soulever l’unité Invisible FiberMD. Saisir

l’unité Invisible FiberMD au-dessous du rebord inférieur,

puis soulever l’unité avec les deux mains. Pour éviter les

lésions corporelles, garder le dos en position verticale et

soulever l’unité en utilisant les jambes et non pas les reins.

radio en tirant sur les câbles qui y sont attachés.

CAUTION: Keep tools and parts away from walkways.

When carrying large, heavy equipment (such as the

Invisible Fiber™ Unit), obstacles (such as hand tools,

cables or components) may not be easily visible and can

cause accidents.

MISE EN GARDE : Garder les outils et les pièces loin

des allées. Lorsqu’on transporte des équipements lourds et

à grandes dimensions (tels que l’unité Invisible FiberMD),

les obstacles (tels que les outils à main, les câbles ou les

composants) sont parfois difficiles à voir et peuvent causer

des accidents.

10BaseT

IEEE 802.3 standard specifying Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair cables.

99.999% availability

(Also known as five 9s availability.) Amount of time the system is expected to

be available. If the system is available 99.999% of the time, expected down

time is approximately six minutes per year, derived as follows:

Days per year X hours per day X (100–99.999) ÷ 100 X 60 =

365.25 X 24 X (100–99.999) ÷ 100 X 60 = 5.2 minutes

Part of the IEEE 802.3u standard for 100 Mbps Ethernet over fiber.

Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM)

A device that provides an interface between the different signals in a digital

T-carrier or SONET network. When an ADM is inserted in a transmission

line, it enables lower rate signals to be extracted (dropped) and transported

differently (electrical or optical). Similarly, a lower rate signal can be inserted

(added) into a higher rate signal.

ADD/DROP

MULTIPLEXER

Signals added and dropped

at an intermediate point in

the transmission (via a

multiplexer)

AIS

See Alarm Indication Signal (AIS).

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)

A special signal that is transmitted to downstream equipment for specific

equipment fault conditions.

antenna

A mechanical device that can convert electrical signals to and from

electromagnetic waves. An IFU contains an antenna.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

A cell-based protocol, developed by the ITU-T, for transmitting and switching

voice, video, and data traffic. ATM technology does not use a fixed timing

reference, hence the name asynchronous.

ATM

See Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

atmospheric absorption

Amount of energy lost when radio waves are transmitted due to the presence

of atmospheric gases.

attenuation

The reduction in the strength of a signal measured in dB. See also

propagation loss.

azimuth

The horizontal angle the radiating lobe of an antenna makes. When you adjust

an IFU by its azimuth, you move it on its horizontal plane (left to right or right

to left).

backhaul

A transmission path used to move traffic to/from a remote location from/to a

central location. The message can be routed “out of its way” so that it arrives

at its destination more quickly. A network can perform a back haul

transmission if a direct communication link is busy and an indirect link would

be faster. (The verb form is back haul.)

bandwidth

The range of frequencies over which a signal is transmitted.

BER

See Bit Error Rate (BER).

Bit Error Rate (BER)

The number of bit errors detected – displayed as the ratio of the average

number of errored bits in a given number of bits sent. The BER is used to

measure transmission quality. For example, a BER of 10–12 is equivalent to

one error in a trillion bits, which means that for:

SONET OC-3, one error bit is detected approximately every 1.8

hours

Fast Ethernet, one error bit is detected approximately every 2.8 hours.

BNC connector

Bayonet Neil-Concelman connector. A bayonet type of connector for coaxial

cables in an Ethernet network.

Central Office (CO)

Location at which one or more switches reside for aggregating voice or data

traffic.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Central controller that coordinates functions in the IFU.

channel

Physical medium through which signals are transmitted. In optical fiber

transmissions, a channel is a separate wavelength of light within a combined

multiplexed light stream.

channelization

Logically subdividing a frequency (normally assigned by a regulatory agency

for the delivery of broadband wireless services).

CLEC

Independent company that competes with the already established local

telephone company by providing its own network and switching. CLEC

distinguishes a new or potential competitor from an established local

exchange carrier (LEC). The term originated from the Telecommunications

Act of 1996, which was intended to promote competition among

long-distance and local phone service providers.

See Central Office (CO).

cochannel interference

Interference between signals transmitted within one radio frequency channel.

colocation

Space set aside for a customer’s telecommunications equipment on the service

provider’s premises. For example, a web site owner could place its computer

server on the premises of an ISP, or an ISP could locate its network router at a

company that supplies switching services to other ISPs.
