5 Replacing Pluggable Optical Modules on Site
Replacing Pluggable Optical Modules on Site

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the small form pluggable (SFP) module, which is pluggable. If the optical module is faulty, replace the optical module instead of the board.
Prerequisite
You must be a T2000 user with "NE and network operator" authority or higher.
Impact on Service
Before replacing the pluggable optical module, query whether the pluggable optical module to be replaced at the optical interface is configured with protection.
l
If the protection is not configured, replacing the pluggable optical module may result in service interruption. If the protection is configured and the MSP or SNCP protection switching is normal, replacing the optical module does not affect the services.
Tools/Instruments
Anti-static bag, T2000

19.1 Overview
It is very important to inspect and clean every optical fiber connector before you perform fiber optical connection. This chapter describes how to inspect and clean fiber connectors, optical adapters and attenuators and flanges used in fiber optical connections. Figure 19-1 shows the adapter and the fiber connector. Figure 19-1 Optical fiber connector
Any dirt in the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the entire system. Even microscope dust particles can cause a variety of problems to optical connections. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which can cause instability of the laser system. Dust particles trapped between two fiber faces can scratch the glass surfaces. Even if a particle is situated on only the cladding or edge of the end face, it can cause an air gap or misalignment between the fiber cores. This sharply degrades the optical signal. Clean fiber optical components are the basis of quality connections between fiber optical equipments. Cleaning the fiber optical connectors is one of the most basic and key procedures to maintain an optical system. A 1-micrometer dust particle on a single-mode core can block up to 1% of the light, which causes a loss of 0.05 dB. A 9-micrometer speck of dust is still too small to be seen without a microscope, but could completely block the fiber core. Hence, even though dust may not be visible, it is still present in the air and can deposit onto the connector. In addition to dust, other types of dirt must also be cleaned off the end face. These types of dirt include:
l l l
Oils (frequently from human hands) Film residues (condensed from vapors in the air) Powdery coatings (left after water or other solvents evaporate)
These types of dirt can be more difficult to remove than dust particles and can also cause damage to equipment if it is not removed. Always follow the procedures when you clean fiber components. This helps clear any dust or dirt and helps provide a clean environment for the fiber optical connection.

Issue 01 (2008-07-30)
CAUTION
Inspection, cleaning and re-inspection are key steps which must be done before you perform any fiber optical connection.
19.2 Protection of Optical Fiber Connectors

The optical fiber connectors should be kept clean. The protection requirements of the optical fiber connectors is as follows:
l
All optical interface boards must be transported and stored in reliable packing. This helps avoid mechanical and electrostatic damages and reduces vibrations. Store the protective caps in an antistatic bag. Cover the optical interfaces of the replaced boards with protective caps in time. Store them in proper packages to keep the optical interfaces clean.
l l
Protective caps recommended are shown in Figure 19-2. Figure 19-2 Protective caps recommended
Protective caps not recommended are shown in Figure 19-3.

WARNING
Laser is dangerous. The laser light is not visible to the eyes with or without laser protective glasses. Do not stare at optical connectors or interfaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage to the eyes, or even blindness.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is hazardous to the electronic equipment. Handle the equipment properly to prevent damage to the electronic equipment. Failure to follow this caution can cause equipment damage and/or loss of service.
WARNING
Use a fiberscope equipped with a safety device that can cancel the optical path to the eye or a desktop video fiberscope when you inspect the optical connectors. If one is not available, turn off the laser and disconnect both ends of the fiber before you inspect the optical connectors.
Procedure
Step 1 Turn off the laser before the inspection. Disconnect both ends of the fiber to be inspected. Step 2 Test the optical power by using a power meter. Ensure that there is no laser light on the optical connector. Step 3 Use a fiberscope to inspect the fiber to check if there is any dirt or damage. Refer to the following examples shown .
Step 4 If any dirt is detected, clean the optical connector. For details, refer to 19.4.1 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Cartridge Cleaners and 19.4.2 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Lens Tissue. Step 5 If any damage is detected, replace the fiber or board. ----End
19.4 Cleaning Fiber Connector

Use the cassette cleaner, lens tissue, or dust-free cotton stick to clean the fiber connector. 19.4.1 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Cartridge Cleaners Before cleaning, inspect the optical surface of the fiber with a fiberscope or a magnifier to determine the extent to which the optical fiber may be damaged or dirty. Clean the optical fiber only if it is dirty. If there is no dirt, do not clean it. This is because the cleaning itself may introduce dust, dirt, or cause potential damage to the optical fiber. Multiple types of cartridge cleaners can be used. The CLETOP cassette cleaner is taken as an example in the description. 19.4.2 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Lens Tissue Before cleaning, inspect the surface of the optical fiber with a fiberscope or a magnifier to determine the extent to which the optical fiber may be damaged or dirty. Clean the optical fiber only if it is dirty. If there is no dirt, do not clean it. This is because cleaning itself may introduce dust, dirt, or cause potential damage to the optical fiber. Follow the steps to clean the optical fiber connectors by using lens tissue. To clean the optical fiber, you need to select special-purpose materials depending on the situation of the station. 19.4.3 Cleaning Optical Adapters Using Optical Cleaning Sticks Optical adapters must be cleaned with special cleaning tools and materials. You can obtain these tools and materials from a fiber cable and connector manufacturer. The following procedure provides the steps to clean optical adapters by using optical cleaning sticks. There are several types of optical cleaning sticks and cotton swabs that can be used. Refer to the local site practices. 19.4.4 Cleaning Optical Attenuators and Flanges Optical attenuators and flanges must be cleaned with special cleaning tools and materials, such as the cleaning stick.

Step 4 Place the fiber tip lightly against the cleaning area so that the end face is flat on the cleaning area. Step 5 Drag the fiber tip lightly on one cleaning area in the direction of the arrow once. See Figure 19-11. Do it again on the other cleaning area in the same direction as the first time once. See Figure 19-12.
CAUTION
Do not scrub the fiber against fabric or clean the same cleaning area more than once. Otherwise, the connector can become dirty or it can damage the connector.

Step 6 Release the lever to close the cleaning area. Step 7 Inspect the fiber and repeat Steps 1 through 6 if the fiber is still dirty. Step 8 Connect the fiber connector to the board. Step 9 Turn on the lasers after you connect the fiber to the board. ----End
19.4.2 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Lens Tissue

Before cleaning, inspect the surface of the optical fiber with a fiberscope or a magnifier to determine the extent to which the optical fiber may be damaged or dirty. Clean the optical fiber only if it is dirty. If there is no dirt, do not clean it. This is because cleaning itself may introduce dust, dirt, or cause potential damage to the optical fiber. Follow the steps to clean the optical fiber connectors by using lens tissue. To clean the optical fiber, you need to select special-purpose materials depending on the situation of the station.

WARNING
CAUTION
Procedure
Step 1 Turn off the lasers before the inspection. Disconnect both ends of the fiber to be inspected. Step 2 Use a power meter to measure the fiber and ensure that there is no laser light on the optical connector. Step 3 Place a small amount of cleaning solvent on the lens tissue. Step 4 Clean the fiber tip on the lens tissue. See Figure 19-13 and Figure 19-14.
CAUTION
Do not scrub the fiber against fabric or clean the same cleaning area more than once. Failure to comply with these methods can result in dirt in the connector or damage to the connector.

CAUTION
A piece of lens tissue can be used only once. Step 5 Repeat Step 4 several times on the areas where the lens tissue has not been used. Step 6 Use compressed gas to blow dust off the fiber tip. Step 7 Inspect the fiber and repeat steps through 1 to 6 if the fiber is still dirty. Step 8 Do not touch the fiber connector after you clean it. Connect it to the optical interface board immediately. If it is currently not used, put a protective cap on it. Step 9 Turn on the lasers after you connect the fiber to the board.
NOTE
l l l
When you use compressed gas, keep the injector nozzle close to the fiber connector surface without touching it. When you use compressed gas, first spray it into the air as the initial spray of compressed air can contain some condensation or propellant. Such condensation leaves a filmy deposit on the fiber. If compressed gas is not available, a clean roll can be used.

DANGER
Laser is dangerous. The light is not visible to the eyes with or without laser protective glasses. Do not stare at optical connectors or interfaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage to the eyes, or even blindness.
CAUTION
Procedure
Step 1 Turn off the laser before the inspection. Disconnect both ends of the fiber to be inspected. Step 2 Use a power meter to measure and ensure that there is no laser light on the optical interface. Step 3 Select the cleaning stick with a proper diameter for a certain type of adapter. For the SC and FC optical interface, use a cleaning stick with a diameter of 2.5 mm; for the LC optical interface, use a cleaning stick with a diameter of 1.25 mm. See Figure 19-15 and Figure 19-16. Figure 19-15 Cleaning stick for the SC and FC optical interface (for reference only)
Figure 19-16 Cleaning stick for the LC optical interface (for reference only)
Step 4 Place a small amount of cleaning solvent on the optical cleaning stick. Step 5 Place the optical cleaning stick on the optical adapters such that the cleaning solvent touches the fiber tip. Hold the stick straight out from the adapter and turn the stick clockwise four to five times. Make sure that there is direct contact between the stick tip and fiber tip.
Step 6 Use the compressed gas to blow off the fiber tip. Step 7 Repeat Steps 1 through 6 if the optical adapter contains dirt. Step 8 Connect the fiber to the board, or put a protective cap on the interface. Step 9 Turn on the lasers after you connect the fiber to the board.
