HANDLING CONNECTORS
Caution
Connecting damaged or dirty cables, optical fibers or connectors to the unit
can damage the connectors of the unit.
Use a torque wrench with a maximum torque of 1Nm
(0.74 lbs-ft) to connect cables to the SMA connectors.
A torque of more than 1Nm can damage the SMA connectors permanently.
Use of inappropriate tools when connecting cables and fibers to connectors
(wrenches, spanners etc) can result in mechanical damage to adjacent
connectors and to the connector itself. Similar damage can occur if using a
torque wrench set to a torque above the maximum recommended value.
It is recommended to use dust caps or 50Ω terminations for unused ports /
connectors to avoid connectors becoming damaged by dirt or electrostatic
discharge.
Ensure that long cables or other connected equipment cannot apply forces
or torques that may damage the connectors.
Do not stand the unit on the connectors, as it may damage them.
Optical connectors must be kept clean to avoid damage or performance
degradation. All optical connectors have removable adapters to allow access
to the cleanable surface.
Please ensure adequate cleaning procedures. Ask Luceo Technologies for
advice if required.
