Running the Fiber Cable
Do the following when running your Fiber Cable:
1. Make sure that both ends of the Fiber Cable are securely capped. In this case the concern is dirt
and damage. ANY dirt in the connector can adversely affect Fiber Optical performance and
potentially cause you to lose the use of your camera while the problem is diagnosed and
remedied.
2. If the cable run is long or if you will lose sight of the spooling out cable reel make sure you have
appropriate assistance in running out the cable. When retrieving the cable, assistance to
prevent the cable end from being caught or tangled up could be critical. Don’t start reeling in
the cable on your own and assume the Connector end will make it back to home base safely.
3. When unspooling the cable ALWAYS make sure the stationary end (the end that goes to the
Base Station or Power Supply) us securely contained within the reel. A loose Connector can bang
around and be damaged and NEVER connect the stationary end of the Fiber Cable to the Base
Station or Power Supply and the start unspooling the Fiber Cable. Server damage to the cable
could occur due to extreme spiraling of the connected portion of the cable.
