Installing and Removing Modules
Installation
Overview Front and back modules in the OPTO+series have plastic caps that protect the fragile laser
connections from damage. You must remove these protective covers before you install the
back and front modules (see Figure 2-5).
In addition, all fiber optic connections must be inspected and cleaned before they are
assembled. Carefully follow the inspection and cleaning steps described in the next pages.
Additional safety information begins on page 37.
CAUTION
To prevent overload damage, ensure that you observe the following:
Do not install high-sensitivity (APD) optical receivers on multimode fiber. Due to its
dispersion characteristics, multimode fiber is typically limited to shorter distance
applications with very little signal attenuation. The resulting power levels may
damage the receiver.
Before connecting any standard-sensitivity (PIN) or high-sensitivity (APD) optical
receiver to a fiber network, ensure the power level is tested to fall within the
published specifications of the receiver. Failure to verify optical power before
connection will void the warranty.
The input power on the high-sensitivity receivers must not exceed 0 dBm. To
ensure error-free operation, the input power must be less than -9 dBm.
Back Module
Installation
Follow these steps to install the back module into a frame:
1Remove a blank back plate from the frame.
Do not discard the blank back plates. They may be needed for future configurations.
2On the side of the back module that inserts into the front module, remove the inner
protective cap from the fiber connection (see Figure 2-5 on page 11).
CAUTION
Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic
network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
3Follow the inspection and cleaning procedure that begins on page 8.
4If it is already installed, remove the front module from the slot.
5Install the new back module by inserting the bottom lip into the required frame slot, and
then screwing it into place.
Ensure that the EMI gaskets on the right side of the back module remains in place
during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly.
6Apply the adhesive label to the back module if it is supplied separately.

OP+VTX
Installation and Operation Manual

and then open it.
2Locate the front module slot that corresponds with the matching back module.
3Gently remove the outer and inner protective caps from the laser connections. (see
Figure 2-5 on page 11).
CAUTION
Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic
network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
4Follow the fiber cleaning instructions that begin on page 8.
5Ensure that your front module matches with a corresponding back module of the same
name, and then slide the module into the guides on the frame floor.
6When the module edge is flush with the guide, close the extractor handle.
The module is properly seated when its edge is flush with the guide edge and the
extractor handle closes.
7Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.
To prevent overheating, keep the front panel closed and all back module plate slots covered
during operation.

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections
Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a
fiber optic network. To ensure that your network operates reliably, you must carefully
inspect and clean each connection when installing OPTO+products.
Tab l e 2- 3 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection. The inspection and
cleaning procedure begins on page 9.
Important
Points
Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.
Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection.
Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.
Do not touch the end of a fiber.
Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for easy
access.
Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.
Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber end.
Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or
