3.1 Installing Preconnectorized Cable
WARNING:
Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light.
Laser light can be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain.
The iris of the eye will not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently,
serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser
light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
WARNING:
DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light
can cause eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to
laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
WARNING:
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable with a flashpoint at 54ºF. It can cause irritation to
eyes on contact. In case of contact, flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation
of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations has a narcotic effect,
producing symptoms of dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and
possibly death.
Step 1:
Remove the blank panels from the unit and replace with connector panels
(purchased separately).
Step 2:
Route the cable around the radius control guides, ensuring that there is enough slack
to move the drawer from the front to the back position without pulling on the cable.
IMPORTANT:
Lift the drawer stop plunger shown in Figure 7 and slide the drawer to the forward and
back positions to verify that the drawer slides in the grooves of the guides and that there
is enough fiber slack to prevent violating the minimum fiber bend radius of the cable.
Step 3:
If desired, loosely secure cables to the rear flange of the drawer with cable ties.
Step 4:
Clean the connector end-faces and adapters per standard company practices. Then
install connectors into the adapters at the rear of the connector panels (Figure 7).
