 2 Precautions
Laser Safety

Never look into an optical port because the invisible infrared laser light transmitted by the laser on
the optical interface board may injure your eyes permanently.

Optical interface and pigtail connector

Cover the unused optical interfaces on the panel and the unused fiber connectors of the pigtails with
optical caps. For used optical interfaces on the optical interface board or panel, use optical caps to
cover the optical interfaces and the connected pigtail connectors if you need to remove the connected
pigtails from the optical interfaces.
This prevents direct eye exposure to the laser light and avoids attenuation due to dust accumulating on
the optical interfaces and pigtail connectors.
Loopback operation
When performing a loopback test on an optical interface with a pigtail, add an attenuator to prevent
the optical module from being overloaded or even damaged due to high optical power received.
OSU4811 replacement
Remove the fibers connected to the panel and then change the optical switch unit (OSU). Do not move
or change the OSU with fibers connected. Do not insert or remove the optical connectors unless
necessary; otherwise, the optical path may become unavailable or the NMS configurations may not
match the actual configurations.

Electrical safety
ESD
To prevent damage to sensitive components by electrostatic discharge (ESD)
from to the human body when you touch the device, daughter board, board, or
IC chip, wear an ESD wrist strap and connect the other end of the ESD wrist
strap to the ground.

ESD from the human body may damage electrostatic sensitive components on circuit boards, such as
the large-scale integrated circuits (LIC).

Device electrical safety

• The test device properly functions only under the correct voltage. Ensure that the working voltage
meets the device voltage requirements.
• Do not open the device cover when the device is working. Open the device cover when the device is
powered off when necessary.
• Take moisture-proof measures for the working environment of the device.
Power supply maintenance
• Do not install or remove a device when it is powered on.
• Transient contact between the core of a power cable and a conductor may generate electric arcs or
sparks, which may cause fire or eye injury.
• Before connecting cables, ensure that the cable labels comply with the installation requirements.

 2 Precautions

Bundling Cables

• The distance between cable ties or binding straps inside the cabinet must not exceed
250 mm.
• Use diagonal pliers to cut off the extra part of a cable tie to the end, and ensure that a
cable tie is neat without sharp burs to avoid hand injury.

Attaching labels

• After cable routing, attach labels to the cable 20 mm away from the connector.
• After a label is attached to a signal cable, the rectangular text area of the label must
face rightwards or downwards.
• After a label is attached to a power cable, the text area of the label must face rightwards
or upwards. Ensure that the side attached with a label faces outwards.

Overview C: Making Power Cables
with Cord-end Terminals

Based on the cross-sectional area of the cable conductor, use a wire stripper to strip a part
of the insulation layer of the power cable to expose the conductor by length L1.

When stripping the insulation layer of the

power cable, ensure that the conductor of the
power cable is not scratched.

Insert the exposed conductor of the power cable into a cord-end terminal and ensure that
the conductor is flush with the end face of the cord-end terminal.

After the cord-end terminal is installed, the

conductor of the power cable outside the cord-end
terminal should be no longer than 1 mm.

Use the cable crimping pliers to crimp the joint parts of the cord-end terminal and the
conductor with a proper cross-sectional area.

 Overview
Appendix E: Basic Maintenance for OSU4811
Installing, Relocating, and Replacing an OSU4811
When installing, relocating, or replacing an OSU4811, do not place the OSU4811 on an
unstable box or table. Otherwise, serious or permanent damage will be caused to the
OSU4811 once the device falls off.
Plugging and unplugging power cables
Do not plug or unplug a power plug when the power supply is turned on. When inserting or
removing a power cable connector, hold and pull the connector instead of pulling the cable;
otherwise, the cable connector may become loose, causing poor contact.
DIP Switch Settings
Check the DIP switch settings of the OSU4811, including the ID address, working mode, and
terminal build-out resistor of the node where the OSU4811 is located. Ensure that the DIP
switch settings meet the actual application requirements.
Fiber Connection and End Face Cleaning
During the optical path connection and optical signal test of the OSU4811, ensure that the
fiber connections are correct and the fiber end faces are clean. Use dedicated tools and
detergents to clean fiber end faces to prevent line quality deterioration or service
interruption caused by high insertion loss due to unclean fiber connectors or end faces.
Clean the end faces of the fiber connectors, optical port of the OSU, and adapter, and take
dustproof measures.
Cleaning End Faces of Fiber Connectors
Clean the end face of a connector once in one direction using two layers of dry lint-free
cotton. If a connector is severely contaminated, wet the two layers of lint-free cotton with a
small amount of detergent and clean the end face of the connector once in one direction.
Use another dry lint-free cotton and repeat the preceding steps again to ensure that the
end face of the connector is dry. Do not clean the same place every time. You can also use
an electric fiber end face cleaner to clean the fiber end faces. Exert a proper force when
cleaning the fiber end faces and connectors to avoid damaging the connectors or scratching
the end faces.
Cleaning Optical Ports on the OSU4811
Dip a lint-free cotton stick with a diameter that matches the optical port into detergent,
insert the stick into the optical port, and rotate the stick in the same direction for one circle.
Then, insert another dry lint-free cotton stick of the same diameter into the optical port,
and rotate the cotton stick in the same direction for one circle. After the cleaning is
complete, cover the optical ports that are not used immediately with dustproof caps.

When cleaning the end faces, exert a proper force; otherwise, the end faces of the connectors
may be damaged or the connectors inside the device may be pushed away from the adapters.

 When inserting a fiber connector into an adapter, keep the connector horizontal with the
center of the adapter. Do not forcibly push or pull the connector; otherwise, the locking
mechanism of the adapter may be damaged or the internal ceramic socket may be cracked.
 Remove a dustproof cap only immediately before installing a device; otherwise, dust may
enter the socket and affect connection quality.

Overview F: Cleaning SC/LC and LC/LC
Fiber Connectors and End Faces
Application Scenario
An SC/LC fiber patch cord is used to connect the PON board of the MA5800-X7 to the OSU4811.
An LC/LC fiber patch cord is used to connect the TEST port on the OSU4811 to the OTHF board on
the MA5800-X7. When the LCT is used to check the fiber line attenuation, if the insertion loss is
found to be excessively large, the possible cause is that the fiber patch cord connector or the end
face of the optical port on the device is contaminated. In this case, you need to check and clean
the fiber connector and the end face of the optical port by referring to this section.

Tool List
Portable fiber end Tape fiber end Absorbent cotton swab Clean bag
face detector face cleaner

Procedure
1. Remove a fiber connector with an excessive attenuation from the MA5800-X7 or OSU4811. (This
operation will interrupt services and you need to obtain the customer's permission in advance.)

2. Use a portable fiber end face detector to test the fiber connector and the optical port of the
device. Any pollutant needs to be cleaned.

3. Slide open the cover of the cleaner to expose
the cleaning tape. Then, slide the fiber
connector against the cleaning tape in one
direction with a proper force that will not
damage the ferrule of the connector. When
cleaning an APC connector, ensure that the
end face of the ferrule is slid while in closely
contact with the cleaning tape. You can
perform the preceding steps again if the
cleaning is not thorough enough. After the
operation is complete, use the portable fiber
end face detector to check the fiber end face.
4. Use absorbent cotton swabs to clean the
contaminated optical ports on the FTU or
OSU4811. Dip a lint-free cotton stick with a
diameter that matches the optical port into
detergent, insert the stick into the optical port,
and rotate the stick in the same direction for
one circle. Then, insert another dry lint-free
cotton stick of the same diameter into the
optical port, and rotate the cotton stick in the
same direction for one circle. After the cleaning
is complete, cover the optical ports that are not
used immediately with dustproof caps.
