If you are using an existing 62.5-micron cable in your infrastructure, you must obtain
a 62.5-micron jumper from an independent source. A 50-micron cable cannot be
spliced with a 62.5-micron cable.
CAUTION:
Make certain the Fibre Channel cables are installed and supported so
that no excess weight is placed on the Fibre Channel connectors. This is necessary
to prevent damage to the connector and cable and to prevent a cable bend radius
less than 3 inches (7.62 cm) at the connector and along the cable length. Excess
Fibre Channel cable should be coiled and tied out of the way, being careful not to coil
the cable in a tight loop with a bend radius of less than 3 inches (7.62 cm).
