Connecting to the Physical Interface Cards

To connect network 10GbE optical cabling to the 10GbE optical physical interface cards:

  1. Locate the 10GbE fiber optic cables you plan to connect to the Acme Packet 6300/6350.
  2. Insert the duplex LC connector on the end of the fiber cable into one of the SFP+ optical transceivers. The connector should click and lock in place when you insert it properly. The media and signaling ports (from left to right, bottom to top) are labeled: P0 & P1 on each NIU. The image below shows Multi Mode cable.

  3. Route the cable away from the Acme Packet 6300/6350. Make sure that the fiber optic cables are not stretched tightly or subjected to extreme stress. The image below shows an Acme Packet 6300/6350 with media network cables properly connected and inserted into ports P0 & P1. The image below shows Single Mode cable.
  4. Repeat Steps 1 through 2 for each additional fiber optic cable you connect to your Acme Packet 6300/6350.
