Use the following procedure to install the forward and reverse path optical fibers and to connect
them to the WBDR PCIx Host card: 

1. Obtain the required lengths of single-mode fiber optic cable. 

2. Route the fiber optic cable between the WBDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head)

unit (if not already routed) and cut to required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and
organizing the cables at each unit. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 2 inches (50 mm).

3. Terminate each optical fiber with a field-installable LC type fiber optic connector as

shown in 

. Follow the instructions provided by the connector manufacturer for

installing the connector. 

4. Test each fiber for optical loss. 

5. Designate one of the fibers as the forward path fiber and the other as the reverse path fiber

and label both ends of each fiber with the path designation. 

6. Use the plastic joiner provided with the LC connectors to join the WBDR PCIx Host card

forward and reverse path connectors together (see 

). Make sure the forward path

and reverse path connectors are oriented as shown.

Note: Maximum path length for 9/125 single-mode fiber optical fiber is 10 km (32,808 ft.).
