4 Installing the RMM and SFPs

Note: You can install the RMM and SFPs after the switch has been mounted
outdoors, but it is recommended to install the RMM and SFPs indoors.

Do!

Attention: Risk of system malfunction or traffic disturbance.

The ports on the Switch 6391 are sensitive to moisture. Any operations
involving opening the front cover must be performed in dry conditions. The front
cover must always be closed after accessing the Switch 6391.

Caution!

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) may damage the equipment. Always use an

approved ESD wrist strap to avoid damage to components fitted on printed
circuit boards.

4.1 Handling Optical SFPs

Receptacle transceivers are complex to clean due to their design and it is
essential to make sure that the transceiver is not contaminated by dust or dirt.
Unless specific equipment is available and the operator is trained, cleaning of
the receptacle transceiver is not recommended.

4.2 Installing the RMM and SFPs

Attention!

Attention: Risk of system malfunction or traffic disturbance.

14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18 13

 Installing a Switch 6391

The ports on the Switch 6391 are sensitive to moisture. Any operations
involving opening the front cover must be performed in dry conditions. The front
cover must always be reinstalled after accessing the switch.

Danger!

Never look directly into the end of a fiber optic cable, or other laser source.
Equipment that transmits laser light can cause permanent eye damage. Switch
off the laser before starting work on laser equipment.

The SFP interfaces are Class 1 laser products (IEC 60825-1). Insert protective
plugs in unused connectors. Do not look directly into the connectors.

For more information on handling SFPs, see Section 7.1 on page 45.

To install an RMM and SFPs in a Switch 6391:

1. Loosen the screws holding the front cover in place.

Note: Regardless of the direction of the printed arrow on the RMM,

always follow the instruction above to avoid the risk of inserting
the RMM in the wrong direction.

7.1 Handling Optical Traffic Cables

Danger!

Never look directly into the end of a fiber optic cable, or other laser source.
Equipment that transmits laser light can cause permanent eye damage. Switch
off the laser before starting work on laser equipment.

Optical traffic cables must be handled with care. Optical traffic cables consist of
thin glass fibers protected by plastic coating.

The LC connector is shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10 LC Connector without Protective Covers

Note: Never touch the end face of the optical connectors. Only remove
protective covers immediately before connecting to the equipment.

7.1.1 Handling Optical Traffic Cables

When handling optical traffic cables, consider the following:

Note: Never touch the end face of the optical connectors. Only remove
protective covers immediately before connecting to the equipment.

• When handling optical connectors cleanliness is important.

Always clean the connectors (ferrule) using a ferrule end face cleaner
before connecting the SFP module, even if the connector is new and
unused.

• Never over-bend the cable. See Section 7.1.1.1 on page 47 for minimum
bending radius.

46 14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18

 Cabling

• Make sure not to apply excessive force to the cable. See Section 7.1.1.1
on page 47 for maximum tensile force values.

• Be careful with the connectors when connecting optical traffic cables to

the equipment.

 Installing a Switch 6391

7.2 Preparing the Optical Traffic Cables

For more information on handling optical traffic cables, see Section 7.1 on
page 45.

Caution!

Make sure the optical traffic cable is handled with care on preparation in order
not to deform or tear it. Remove the protective cap from the cable if there is one.

Testing the Optical Traffic Cable

Use a power meter to check the difference in effect value between the
transceiver out port and the transmitter in port.

7.3 Hoisting the Power Cable and Traffic Cables

7.3.1 Hoisting Optical Traffic Cables

To hoist an optical traffic cable to a switch, do the following:

1. Attach a sleeve to the optical traffic cable to relieve the cable from any load.

Note: Position the sleeve so that the cable will easily reach the switch
connector.

15621

2. Attach a rope according to figure and pull the cable.

48 14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18

 Cabling

15622

3. Anchor the cable by a steel wire and carabiner.

15623

Note: Each carabiner can be used to hold three optical traffic cable sleeves
and three power cable sleeves, all cables going through the same tube.

7.3.2 Checking the Installation

To check the optical traffic cable and the installation:

1. Check the optical traffic cable installation to ensure that the cables have
been handled properly during installation.

2. Check the optical traffic cables using the fiber check tool to shine laser light
through the cable, see A in Figure 12.

14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18 49

3. Clean LC connectors using the ferrule end-face cleaner, see B in Figure 12.

4. Check again that the laser light goes through the cable.

5. If fault or high attenuation still is suspected then use the OTDR, Optical Site
Master, see C in Figure 12.

6. If the problem remains, then it is probably due to one of the following

causes:

• Dirty connectors

• Cable kinks

• Too tight cable straps

The cable must be replaced. Contact site supervisor before taking action.

7.4 Connecting the Cables

This section describes how to connect the power cable, optical traffic cables,
and PoE cables to the switch.

The cable connecting order is as follows:

1. Earthing Cable

2. Power Cable

50 14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18

 Cabling

3. Optical Traffic Cables (if applicable)

4. PoE Cables (if applicable)

Warning!

The power cable must not be connected to voltage during the connection
procedure.

For information about the connections on the switch, see Page 2.

7.4.1 Connecting the Earthing Cable

Danger!

Grounding of the switch is a safety requirement. The other end of the earthing
cable must be connected to mast ground, see Page 45.

Danger!

Never look directly into the end of a fiber optic cable, or other laser source.

 Grounding the Power Cable

8 Grounding the Power Cable

Danger!

The lower part of the power cable must be grounded, for example, before
entering a building and for long cables every 50 m (55 yd).

Caution!

Install the earthing kit only where the cable runs straight.

Figure 14 Grounding Recommendations on a Site

14/1531-HRA 901 17/11 Uen C | 2016-10-18 83

 Installing a Switch 6391

We recommend a combination of several pieces of grounding equipment for

the sites, unless there are other national standards or other site requirements
that need to be considered.

Description
A Lightning rod
B Earthing cable
C Cable earthing kits

This grounding combination will withstand severe conditions. Normally the

outdoor grounding equipment is connected to a separate earthing cable. It is
recommended that the power cable is grounded in its lower part, for example,
before entering a building, and for long cables every 50 meters (55 yards). It is
also recommended to ground the power cable before sharp bends.

Make sure the grounding is properly done to improve protection against

overvoltage.

 Fitting the Wall Glands

9 Fitting the Wall Glands

The wall gland installation is to be performed from the outside of the building
and is only applicable for the cables that are to be connected to an indoor unit.

For each cable that is to be connected to an indoor unit:

1. Make a hole through the wall.

2. Pull the cable through.

Ø 44 mm (1 3/4")

8748

3. Split the wall gland A into two halves and remove layers B from the halves
until you reach a gap of 0-–1 mm between them when held against the
cable.

8739

4. Lubricate both the inside and the outside of the wall gland, using the
lubricant enclosed in the delivery.

Note: Ensure that there is enough cable to reach the station cable before
fitting the wall gland.

5. Insert the bottom half of the wall gland into the bottom of the hole and put
the cable in it.

6. Put the upper part of the wall gland on top of the cable and insert it into
the wall.

7. Tighten the four screws crosswise. Recommended maximum torque is 4

Nm (appropriate torque depends on several things, for example, cable
size and material, amount of used lubricant, hole size, or material in the
cable sheath).
