4.6.2 Fiber-optic Cables
The optional paired fiber-optic cables are shipped in a separate carton. The fiber-optic
cables are to be attached to the connectors on the S SC150e card or on the
Cabinet Kit, as appropriate. Remove the rubber boots on the fiber-optic transmitters and
receivers as well as the ones on the fiber-optic cables. These rubber boots should be
replaced when cables are not in use or in the event the node must be returned to the
factory.
It is important the ends of the fiber-optic cable be kept clean. If there is an exceptional
amount of light-power loss experienced, the cable ends should be inspected for
cleanliness. Alcohol-based fiber-optic cleaning pads are available to remove minor
contaminants such as dust and dirt.

FIBER-OPTIC CABLE PRECAUTIONS
Fiber-optic cables are made of glass and may break if crushed or bent in a loop with less
than a 2-inch radius.
Perform a visual check of the cable ends before inserting into the transmitter/receiver
connector. If debris is inserted into the transmitter/receiver connector it may not be
possible to clean it out or could result in damage to the transmitter or receiver lens. Hair,
dirt, and dust can interfere with the light signal transmission.
Use an alcohol-based wipe to clean cable ends.
