To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical connector in the TCX1000-RDM20 (see
Figure 54 on page 127 ):
1.
If the fiber-optic cable is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the
cap.

WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic connector or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables
connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING: Class 1M laser product.
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
2.
If the optical connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, open the cap.
3.
Insert the cable connector into the optical connector.
4.
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. Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage
the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: 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.
