Fiber Optic Cable Installation
Important considerations for installing the FOX include the following guidelines:

To ensure reliable communication between the FOX base and OCS/RCS module, high quality
cables need to be installed. See Table 2 for fiber cable part numbers.
b.
The maximum fiber optic cable distance is 10 meters between drops.
c.
During installment of the fiber optic cable, all direction changes need to adhere to a
Minimum
Bend Radius
of one inch (25.44mm).
