7 Board box 8 ESD bag 9 Board
CAUTION
Do not throw away a carton that still contains boards. It is recommended that one person unpacks
one carton. After unpacking a carton, check it carefully and make sure that it is empty before
unpacking the next carton.
----End
2.4 Checking the Boards

Clean the chassis and cabinet before installing the boards. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and
remove the board from the antistatic package. Check whether the board name is consistent with
the identifier on the package box, and whether any device is damaged or any component is
missing.
Check pins on the backplane of the chassis. The pins should be kept straight, orderly, and clean.
For the pins bent in the board slots on the backplane, repair them.
The boards are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). When handling boards, observe the
following rules:
l Check whether the device is securely grounded against requirements.

l Wear an antistatic wrist strap during the installation.

Router
l Ensure good contact of the metal tab of the wrist strap with your bare skin. Insert the other
end of the wrist strap into the grounding point on the device.
l Ensure that the wrist strap works in the normal state. Its resistance value must be between
0.75 megohm and 10 megohm. If the service life (usually two years) of the wrist strap
expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, replace it with another one.
l Avoid touching the board with your clothes, because the touch generates static electricity
that is beyond the protection scope of the wrist strap.
l Wear antistatic gloves and place the board on an antistatic pad when replacing the chip of
the board. Use antistatic tweezers or extraction tools to replace chips. Do not tough chips,
circuits, or pins with your bare hands.
l Keep the board and other ESD sensitive parts to be installed in antistatic bags. Place the
removed boards and components on an antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Do not
use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags to
pack boards or let them touch boards.
l Wear an antistatic wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also
ESD-sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before
connecting them to the ports.
l It is recommended that you reserve some materials that can hold boards such as vacuum
formed boxes and antistatic bags in the equipment room for later use.

3.1 Cable Assembly Precautions

Check cables and connector components, choose appropriate cables and connector components,
and assemble them according to the cable assembly precautions.
Checking the Appearance of Cables

l If the cable jacket or insulation is visibly dirty, clean it before assembly.
l If the jacket or insulation of a cable has visible damage, irreparable scuffing, or other
defects, do not use the cable.
l If the shield layer of a cable is damaged, do not use the cable.
l If the cable jacket or insulation cracks after the cable is bent or twisted, discard this cable
and check whether other cables have the same problem. If other cables have the same
problem, replace these cables.
Checking the Appearance of Connectors

l Do not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.
l Do not use connectors if their pins or shells are damaged.
l Do not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are conductors
between pins or between pins and the shell.
Precautions for Assembly

l Use dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here during
assembly.
l Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing cable
components.
l Take the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables:
Make cables slightly longer than necessary.
Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using
bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the outer
diameters of the cables.
When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or
aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be
stripped.

Clean the exposed jackets. Cut all cables neatly.
Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed
conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the
conductors does not become oxidized.
l Take the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors:
The terminals and conductors should be connected tightly after they are crimped. They
should not be moved or turned.
Cut all the exposed copper wires.
Try to avoid a second crimping of sleeves.

Router
Keep all the conductors clean and aligned.

3.4.3 Checking the Appearance of Contact Strips

This section describes how to check the contact strips and how to judge whether an assembled
RJ45 connector is qualified.
Context
l To ensure proper contact between the crimped wires and the wire conductors, the heights
and sizes of the contact strips must be standard and the same.

Router
l The contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset less than 5. The top margin
of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset less than 10.
l To ensure conduction, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.
l The contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic separators
must remain intact and be aligned.
l The contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends of the wires
must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less than
0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact strips
are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 0.13 mm (0.237 0.005). If a measuring
tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 3-58
shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 3-59 shows a qualified piece.
NOTE

3.4.4 Testing the Connection of Assembled Cables

This topic describes how to test an assembled Ethernet cable, ensuring that the connectors and
wires at both ends are correctly connected. This topic illustrates how to test a straight-through
cable.
Context
Huawei provides two types of Ethernet cables: straight-through cables and crossover cables.
l Straight-through cables are connected in a one-to-one manner. They are used to connect
terminals such as a computer to network devices. Table 3-8 lists the connections of core
wires in a straight-through cable.

Procedure
Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.
Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn
on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly
connected.
NOTE
Turn the switch to the S position and check whether the indicators turn on simultaneously, as shown in
Figure 3-65.

Router
Figure 3-65 Testing the conduction and connections of wires
Step 3 Gently shake the connector and repeat Step 2 to check whether the metal contact strips are in
good contact with the core wires and Ethernet ports, as shown in Figure 3-66.
Figure 3-66 Checking the reliability
The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable
except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on. You need to refer to the wire connections
of a crossover cable.
The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:
At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the
slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.
Otherwise, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

3.5 Installing Cable Accessories

This section describes how to install the cable accessories, such as power adapters, network
adapters, coaxial connectors, SCSI connectors, and XLR connectors.
3.5.1 Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories
Tools
NOTE
The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations. For example, in this document, the
adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the actual situation, the adapters may have
interfaces fixed on equipment.
Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure
described here.
Bending Radius
Unless otherwise specified, bending radiuses (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements
listed in Table 3-10.

Router
Table 3-10 Bending radiuses of cables or fibers

Cable or Fiber Bending Radius (R)
Ordinary cable In normal cases, R 2d. When the cable is

connected with a connector, R 5d.
Feeder R 7d
RF cable In normal cases, R 15d. At the maximum

limit, R 10d.
Fiber R 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90
NOTE
The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.
Precautions for Installation

l Hold the terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing the
cable components.
l Do not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Pull out the connector
by using a dedicated tool. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are
inserted properly.
l Before tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly
connected with their adapters. Use flathead or Phillips head screwdrivers and do not use
too much force. To avoid damaging screws or adapters, do not tighten the screws forcibly.
l When removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
l Do not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
l Cover the fiber connectors that are not in use by using dustproof caps. Remove the dustproof
caps before using the fiber connectors.
Requirements for Cable Routing

l To protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings in
the holes.
l To ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep slack at cable joints. After connecting
multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid
stress generation.
l Bind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
l Keep cables away from moveable components such as doors.
l Sharp objects must not be touched in cable wiring to ensure that cables are not damaged.
l To protect power cables, power cables of the active and standby power modules are laid
separately.

connectors and MT connectors with guide pins.
Context
CAUTION
l After you remove the dustproof cap, ensure that the fiber pins are clean and install them as
soon as possible.
l When you disassemble fiber connectors, you must use a dedicated tool if the connectors are
densely installed.
Instructions on How to Use an Optical Module

NOTE
Use only the modules supplied by HUAWEI.
Precautions for the loosened optical module

l When installing an optical module, force it into position. If a crack sound is heard or a slight
tremor is felt, it indicates that the latch boss is secured. When the latch boss is not secured,
the connecting finger is unstably connected to the connector on the board, and the link may
become Up. On the condition that the optical module tremors or collides with another

Router
object, however, the optical module will be loosened or the optical signals will be
temporarily cut off.
l When inserting the optical module, make sure that the tab is closed. (At this time, the latch
boss locks the optical module.) After the optical module is inserted, try pulling it out to see
if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled out, it is secured.
The tab is closed The tab is open
Precautions for receptacle contamination

l Clean tissues must be prepared for the deployment on site. You need to clean the optical
connector before inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against the
contamination on the end surface of the optical connector.
NOTE
Use at least three cleaning tissues. Wipe the end of an optical connector horizontally in one direction, and
then move the connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue. Generally, one cleaning
tissue can be used once for cleaning an optical connector.
l To prevent contamination, the optical module should be covered with either a dust cap or
an optical connector.
Cover an optical module with a dust cap
Cover an optical module with an optical connector

Router
l Lay the optical fibers on the Optical-fiber Distribution Frame (ODF) or coil them up in a
fiber management tray. Make sure that the optical fibers are not squeezed.
l If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and not covered
with a dust cap, you should clean it before using it. A cotton swab is used to clean a
receptacle, and a cleaning tissue is used to clean an optical connector.
NOTE
During the cleaning process, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle. Do not use too
much strength, because the receptacle may be damaged.
l If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to
clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of contamination
can be excluded.

Router
Precautions for the overload-caused burnt optical module

l When using an OTDR to test the connectivity or the attenuation of optical signals,
disconnect the optical connector from the optical module. Otherwise, the optical module
is probably burnt.
l When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical
connector instead.
l It is required that a long-distance optical module input optical power smaller than -7 dBm.
If the input optical power is larger than -7 dBm, you need to add an optical attenuator. For
example, if the transmiting optical power is X dBm and the optical attenuation is Y dB, the
receiving optical power is X-Y, which must be smaller than -7dBm (X-Y<-7 dBm).
Other precautions
l The optical connector should be horizontally inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages
to the receptacle.
l Mixed use of multi-mode and single-mode optical fibers is prohibited. Otherwise, faults
such as signal loss may occur.
Cleaning Fiber Connectors

B.1 Environmental Requirements for an Equipment Room

This section describes the environmental requirements for equipment rooms, including site
selection, room structure, construction requirement, temperature, humidity, cleanness, erosive
gases, ESD protection, electromagnetic interference, and surge protection.
B.1.1 Requirements for Selecting a Site for an Equipment Room

When designing a project, consider the communication network planning and technical
requirements of the equipment. Also consider hydrographic, geological, seismic, power supply,
and transportation factors.
Construction, structure, heating and ventilation, power supply, lighting and fire fighting of the
equipment room should be designed by specialized construction designers to suit the
environmental requirements of routers. The equipment room should also follow local regulations
concerning the industrial construction, environmental protection, fire fighting, and civil air
defense. Construction must conform to government standards, regulations, and other
requirements.
The equipment room should be located at a place free from high temperature, dust, toxic gases,
explosive materials, or unstable voltage. Keep the equipment room away from significant
vibrations or strong noises, as well as power transformer stations.
The specific requirements for selecting a site for an equipment room are as follows:
l The room should be located at a distance of at least 5 km (3.11 mi.) from heavy pollution
sources such as smelting and coal mines. It should be located at a distance of at least 3.7
km (2.30 mi.) from moderate pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and galvanization
factories. It should be located at a distance of at least 2 km (1.24 mi.) from light pollution
sources such as packinghouses and tanyards. If these pollution sources cannot be avoided,
ensure that the equipment room is upwind of the pollution sources. In addition, adopt a
high-quality equipment room or protection products.
l The room should be located away from livestock farms, or in the upwind of the livestock
farms. Do not use an old livestock room or fertilizer warehouse as the equipment room.
l The air vent of the room should be far from the exhaust of city waste pipes, big cesspools
and sewage treatment tanks. The room should be in the positive pressure state to prevent
corrosive gases from entering the equipment room and corroding components and circuit
boards.
l The room should be located far away from industrial and heating boilers.
l It is recommended that the room be on or above the second floor. If this requirement cannot
be met, the ground for equipment installation in the room should be at least 600 mm (23.62
in,) above the maximum flood level. The room should be at an altitude lower than 3000 m
(9842.4 ft).
l The room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) away from the seaside or salt lake. Otherwise,
the equipment room should be airtight with cooling facilities. In addition, alkalized soil
cannot be used as the construction material. Otherwise, equipment suitable for wet
conditions must be used.
l The equipment room should be strong enough to resist winds and downpours.
l The room should be located away from dusty roads or sand. If this is unavoidable, the doors
and windows of the equipment room must not face pollution sources.

Router
l Do not place air conditioning vents near the equipment so that they blow directly on the
equipment because condensation may be blown into the equipment.
l Do not use decorative materials that contain sulfur in the equipment room.
B.1.2 Equipment Room Layout

The equipment room is usually used to install mobile switching equipment, telecom transmission
equipment and power supply equipment as well as other auxiliary equipment. To ensure easy
maintenance and management, place the telecom equipment in different rooms. Figure B-1

B.2 Requirements for Power Supply

This section describes the requirements for power supply conditions.
B.2.1 Requirements for AC Power Supply

The AC power supply consists of power mains, uninterruptable power supply (UPS), and self-
supplied electric generator. In addition to meeting the requirements of the server load, the AC
power supply must have a simple connection line, safe operation, flexible scheduling, and easy
maintenance.
The low-voltage power supply should have 3-phase, 5-wire mode or monophase 3-wire mode.
This AC power supply should be 110 V/127 V/220 V/380 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
The UPS should supply the same power and operate at the same phase as the power mains. The
switching time between the UPS and mains should be less than 10 ms; otherwise, the networking
devices will reboot or reset.
For power distribution capacity in the equipment room, both the working current and fault current
of the devices should be considered. Ensure that independent AC power supplies protect
independent devices. Configure the current-carrying capacity of the protection switch of the
equipment room for more than that of the devices.
Table B-6 shows the voltage range of the AC power supply for the devices.
Table B-6 Voltage range of AC power supply

Item Requirements
AC power capacity to support -10% to +5% of the rated voltage

the devices
AC power capacity to support -15% to +10% of the rated voltage

the power modules and
important buildings
Frequency of alternating -15% to +10% of the rated voltage

current
Voltage wave shape sine Within 5% of the rated voltage

distortion
The automated electric generator must have a standard interface that supports
telecommunication protocol, remote telecommunication, monitoring, and control.
AC power cables should meet the following specifications:
l AC neutral should have a conductor with the same cross section as the phase line.
l AC cables should have non-flammable insulation. The layout of AC cables should comply
with local regulations. Low-voltage power distribution rooms should comply with local
regulations.

Router
B.2.2 Recommendations for AC Power Supply

The following shows recommendations for the AC power supply.
l If the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated
voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage
regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
l If the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds
the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power
supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
l An UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power
to support the telecommunication load.
l If abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with
a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The capacity
should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptable power supply.
l Storage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS storage
batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the UPS can
rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is used, the active
inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is required.
B.2.3 Requirements for DC Power Supply

The telecommunication site should receive stable and reliable DC power. Deploy the power
equipment near the telecom equipment to make the DC feeder as short as possible. To reduce
power consumption and installation cost, the loop voltage drop from the battery port to the
equipment port should be less than 3.2 V.
For a communication site with heavy traffic or with more than two switching systems, two or
more independent power supply systems should be used.
For a large-scale communication site, multiple power supply systems are configured on different
floors to supply power to equipment rooms. For a common communication site with medium
traffic, a centralized power room or battery room is configured. You can also adopt a distributed
power supply mode. Use an integrated power supply for an office with little traffic. Be sure to
prevent the corrosive gas released by batteries from eroding circuit boards.
Table B-7 shows the specifications for the DC power supply.

B.2.4 Recommendations for DC Power Supply

The following shows recommendations for the DC power supply.
l Use distributed power supply mode. Use multiple DC power supply systems and put power
equipment in multiple locations.
l Adopt a standard DC power supply system, and set the output voltage to the
communications equipment within the required range.
l Improving the reliability of the AC power supply system reduces the necessary capacity of
storage batteries. For small offices, increase the capacity of storage batteries if it is difficult
to enhance the reliability of the AC power supply system.
l The total capacity of the high-frequency switching rectifier must satisfy the power of the
communication loading and battery charging. If there are 10 or fewer active rectifier
modules, configure one backup module. If there are more than 10 active modules, configure
one backup module for every 10 active modules.
l Install storage batteries in two or more groups. The capacity is determined by the duration
for which the storage batteries must supply power. For most offices, the batteries should
be able to supply power for at least one hour.

The label for signal cables is L-shaped with fixed dimensions, as shown in Figure D-1.

Router
Figure D-1 Label for signal cables
To specify more clearly the position of a cable, use the dividing lines on the label. For example,
there is a dividing line between the cabinet number and the chassis number, and another one
between the chassis number and the slot number. The dividing line is 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm (0.06
in. x 0.02 in.) with the color of Pantone 656c (light blue).
The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when affixed to the cable, and its size is 1 mm x 2 mm
(0.04 in. x 0.08 in.).
There is a mark "TO:" (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label. The
mark is used to identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.

The label for power cables should be attached to the identification plate on the cable ties that
are attached to the cable. The identification plate has an embossed area 0.2 mm x 0.6 mm (0.008

Router
in. x 0.02 in.) around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for affixing the
label, as shown in Figure D-2.
Figure D-2 Power cable label
D.1.3 Label Printing

The contents can be printed or written on the labels. Printing is recommended for the sake of
high efficiency and eye-pleasant layout.
Template for Printing

You must use a template to print labels. You can obtain the template through the following
methods:

Router
l Download the template from http://support.huawei.com.

l Obtain the template from the Huawei local office.
The templates are made in Microsoft Word and the following requirements should be met:
l When using the template, you can directly modify the contents of the template. The settings
of centered characters, direction, and fonts should not be changed.
l When there are too many characters to be filled in, zoom out the characters, but make sure
that the printouts are clear and legible.
Merging Cells in the Template

To merge two or more cells, do as follows:
1. Select Edit/Select All.
2. Select Format/Borders and Shading/Borders. Select Box tab and click OK.
3. Drag the mouse to select cells to be merged and select the Table/Merge Cells.
Requirements on the Printer

To print the labels, a laser jet printer must be used, although there is no restriction on the model
of the printer. Before printing the label, set up the page and try printing.
1. Try printing on ordinary paper with both sides blank. Place the blank paper over the whole
page of label paper, and check whether the page setup conforms to the label layout.
2. Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and "direction", have been set
correctly.
l If the printout conforms to the sheet of labels, print the labels on the label paper.
l If the printout does not conform, adjust the page setup and try printing again until the
correct printout is produced.
The method of adjusting the page setup is as follows.

1. Select File/Page Setup.
2. Select Layout and set Header and Footer as 0.
3. Select the Margins tab page. Select Left for Gutter Position and adjust the values of Top,
Bottom, Left, and Right.
NOTE
If the warning prompt as shown in Figure D-3 appears before printing, click Ignore to continue the
printing.
Figure D-3 Warning prompt before printing

Router
After the page setup has been made correctly, save it for future use. This page setup is only
necessary the first time you use the template to print the labels.
Requirements for Feeding the Printer

The label paper consists of two layers. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the
labels one page at a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode.
Requirements for the Printed Label

Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:
l All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer
of the label page.
l Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing
lines and the mark "To:" should not be covered by the printed characters.
l When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering the
mark "TO:" when printing the texts. Use the space bar to move the text to the next line.
D.1.4 Writing Labels

Writing Tools
To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use the black markers instead of ball-point pens
to write the labels.
In special cases, black ball-pens are allowed, although not recommended. Compared with ball-
point pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ball-point pen, do not leave the
oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Font
For the sake of easy recognition and good appearance, the font in handwriting should be as close
to a standard typeface (such as Times New Roman) as possible. Table D-1 shows the standard
typeface.
Table D-1 Standard typeface for handwriting

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 A B C D E F G H
I J K L M N O P Q
R S T U V W X Y Z
WThe characters should be clear, distinct, and tidy.

Writing direction: The direction is as shown in Figure D-4:

Router

D.1.5 Attaching Labels

After printing or writing the label, remove the label from the page and attach it to the signal
cable, or the identification plate of the power cable. The methods for attaching labels are
described in the following sections.
Label for Signal Cables

l Choose the place to attach labels.
The label is attached 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the connector on a signal cable. In special cases
(for example, to avoid cable bending or affecting other cables), other positions are allowed
to attach the labels. The rectangle part with characters is attached facing right or downward,
as shown in Figure D-5. The details are as follows:
The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
The identification card should be downward when you lay out the cable horizontally.
Figure D-5 Text area of the label
l Procedure for attaching labels

Figure D-6 shows the methods and procedures for attaching labels.

Router
Figure D-6 Label for signal cables
Power Cable Label

Remove the label from the backing page, and attach it to the identification plate on the cable tie.
The label should be attached to the rectangular flute on the identification plate, and attached to
only one side of the identification plate. The cable ties are bundled at 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the
connectors, and other positions are allowed in special circumstances.
Cable ties should be bound on both ends of a cable. After the bundling, the finished identification
plate should be on top of the cable in horizontal cabling, or on the right side of the cable in
vertical cabling, as shown in Figure D-7. The details are as follows:
l The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
l The identification card is on the top of the cable in horizontal cabling. Make sure that the
label is facing out.

Router
Figure D-7 Binding the label for the power cable
D.1.6 Contents of Engineering Labels
Contents of Labels for Power Cables

Labels for power cables are only affixed on one side of the identification plates. On the labels,
there is information (the part after the mark "TO:") about the location of the device on the other
end of the cable, like the location of control cabinet, distribution box or power socket.
Contents of Labels for Signal Cables

The two sides of the label affixed on the signal cable carry information about the location of the
ports connected to both ends of the cable. Figure D-8 shows the information on both sides of
the labels affixed to the signal cables.
l Area 1 contains the location information of the local end of the cable.
l Area 2 (with the mark "TO:") contains the location information of the opposite end of the
cable.
l Area 3 has been folded up inside the label.
Figure D-8 Printed parts on the label for signal cables

Router
Seen from the cabling end of the equipment, the text part of the label is on the right side of the
cable. The side with "TO:" that is facing outside carries the location information of the opposite
end; and the other side carries the location information of the local end.
Therefore, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the
other end of the cable. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
D.1.7 Precautions for Using Engineering Labels

When using labels, pay attention to the following points:
l When printing, writing, or attaching labels, keep the labels clean.
l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
l Labels should be attached tidily. New-type labels are strip-shaped. If they are pasted at
incorrect locations or in wrong directions, the appearance of the device is affected.
l Power cable ties should be attached in the same positions on power cables, with
identification plates on the same side.
l The positions of "up", "down", "left" or "right" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who works on the label.
D.2 Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers

This section describes the engineering labels for optical fibers, including the labels for the optical
fibers between devices and the labels for the optical fibers between a device and an ODF.
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards in
a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
l One is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
l The other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

MN(BC)-B- On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.
PGND
On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number
of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and
distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the
-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the
connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is
unnecessary for BGND and PGND to identify the row and column
number.
The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable
while information of the local end is not necessary. That is, the label only carries location
information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table
D-8 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other
DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.
Make sure that labels are affixed in the correction direction. That is, after the cable ties are
bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on
the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure D-15.
Figure D-15 Example of the labels for DC power cables
The meaning of the label in Figure D-15 is as follows:

l On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the cable
is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector on row B of -48 V bus bar in the
cabinet on row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.
l On the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC
supply, connected to DC power socket 2 on row B, column 03 in the equipment room.

Router
NOTE
In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every
terminal block on the -48 V connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in the above label of
"A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the terminal block.
PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited,
therefore which terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row
and column of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serial number of the
terminal block on the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loaded cabinet side is "A01-
BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power
distribution box on Row A, Column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND
cables should be given in a similar way.
D.6.2 Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables

The labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to
cabinets, including 220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 220 V AC cables and related PGND
and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to contain only the
word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.
The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details, see Table D-9.
Table D-9 Label content

Content Meaning
MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led in
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-top order with two digits, for
example, 01.
n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-top and left-to-right
order.
Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the
socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be
identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered
following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified
by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion
with other sockets.
The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket;
information about the local end is not necessary.
Make sure that labels are affixed in correct direction. That is, after the cable ties are bundled
onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on the labels
in the same cabinet should be in the same direction, as shown in Figure D-16.

Router
Figure D-16 Labels for AC power cables
Meaning of the label in Figure D-16.

l On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01-AC" indicates that the power cable is connected
to the socket of Row A and Column 01 in the machine room.
l On the power socket side, the label marked with "B01-AC1" indicates that the power cable
is connected to AC power socket on Row B, Column 01 in the machine room.
