Secure the cables so that they do not support their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain
their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the
fastening point.

Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a Device
Juniper Networks devices have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which
you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin disconnecting a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure
that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See
“Laser
and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 155 .
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
• A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
