Handling Fiber-Optic Cable:
Unlike copper cabling, fiber-optic cable requires special handling.
A small speck of dust or a scratch to the ferrule tip (the end of the connector) can attenuate the
optical signal, rendering the cable inoperable.
Warning!
The ends of the connectors
(the ferrule) should never come in
contact with any foreign object,
including fingertips. Always install a
dust cap on the ferrule of any unused
fiber immediately to protect the tip.
Dust cap installed on the ferrule.
Warning!
Minimum bend diameter must
be
no less than 3”. Be careful not to
kink or pinch the fiber when using ties.
Always
follow
the
manufacturer
’s
installlation instructions.
