Cabling a CWDM OADM
This section describes how to cable the following:
• CWDM GBIC to CWDM OADM ( Figure 16 )
• CWDM OADM to network backbone interfaces ( Figure 16 )
To connect the CWDM OADM plug-in module:
1 Make sure you have the correct CWDM GBIC for your network configuration
by matching the color of the CWDM GBIC label to the color of the connector
label on the OADM (see
