3. Connect Jumpers to Splitter/CWDM Cassettes
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a ber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can
be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will
not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina
of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye
examination immediately.
Step 1: Press latch on the right side of the cassette. Pull the cassette out to the detent position (Figure 3).
Step 2: Press buttons on each side of the cassette and lower the handle.

Step 3: Remove dust caps and clean adapters and connectors per standard company practices.
Step 4: Refer to the designation label (Figure 2) on the handle of the cassette for the port designations to
determine where your jumpers should be connected.
• Connect the input or common port jumper to the port labeled “IN” or “COM.”
• Connect the remaining jumpers to the appropriate port as shown on the designation label.
Step 5: Connect jumpers (Figure 4) as required.
Step 6: Raise handle. Dress all jumper cords to the left side and through the jumper retainer clip shown in
Figure 4 before rotating the drop handle up and closing the cover..
Step 7: Push cassette back into the housing and dress jumper cords in frame as described in the installation
instruction provided with the housing.
IMPORTANT: Guide bers while inserting cassette to avoid pinching bers.
