NOTICE
Failure of the data traffic due to contamination of optical plug-in connections
Optical sockets and plugs are sensitive to contamination of the end face. Contamination can
lead to the failure of the optical transmission network. Take the following precautions to avoid
functional impairments:
● Clean the end face of field-assembled connectors carefully before connecting. No residues
of processing may remain on the connector.
● Only remove the dust caps of optical transceivers and pre-configured cables shortly before
connecting the cables.
● Close unused optical sockets and plugs as well as pluggable transceivers and slots with
the supplied protective caps.
