Fiberoptic Interconnect Cable
Part No. FU-C2-CC (conduit cable) FU-C2-DB (direct burial) FU-C2-UV (UV resistant)
The fiberoptic interconnect cable is used to provide a stable optical connection between the
Probe and the FuelCheck

If the fiberoptic interconnect cable is to be installed into a rigid or EMT conduit, the inexpensive
zipcord fiberoptic cable may be employed. The specifications for this cable are shown on the fol-
lowing page.
When installing the fiber, several rules must be followed to avoid damaging it.
1. Do not pull the fiber around sharp obstructions which may cut the fiber…
2. Never step on the fiber.
3. Do not kink the fiber when installing it: make certain to unspool the fiber rather than allowing
it to spin off the end of the spool, which can result in twists and kinks in the fiber.
4. Do not exceed the maximum pulling stress of the fiberoptic cable. On long runs, it is recom-
mended that a suitable lubricant be employed.
5. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius (~ 1”).
6.
Do not install when the temperature is below -20°F.
7.
IMPORTANT: In areas where winter temperatures are extremely cold, precautions
must be taken to prevent water from entering conduit runs as the force exerted by ice
formation can seriously damage the fiberoptic cable. If such precautions aren’t feasi-
ble or practical, use of the PE jacked fiberoptic cable should be strongly considered.
8. On short fiber runs to be undertaken inside conduit deemed to be in good condition and not
containing any other cables, the fiberoptic cable can be supplied pre-connectorized. It is rec-
ommended that the conduit run be carefully measured and that sufficient excess be allowed
for easy connection to the
