Optical Cable Handling Precautions
The following are the optical cable handing precautions:
•
Make sure that all the optical connectors are closed at all times, either by the
appropriate protective caps or by the mating cable connector. Do not remove
the protective cap until an optical fiber is connected to the corresponding
connector, and immediately install a protective cap after a cable is
disconnected.
•
(Recommended) Before installing optical cables, thoroughly clean their
connectors using an approved cleaning kit.
•
When connecting optical cables, make sure to prevent cable twisting and
avoid sharp bends. Unless otherwise specified by the optical cable
manufacturer, the minimum fiber bending radius is 35 mm. Always leave
some slack, to prevent stress.
•
(Recommended) Install plastic supports on each cable connector. These
supports determine the fiber bending radius at the connector entry point and
also prevent stress at this point.
