2. DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 1)
Each connector kit consists of a connector assembly,
strain relief, inner eyelet, crimp eyelet, black tubing,
and clear tubing. Each kit is also supplied with a bare
buffer boot and small tubing to compensate for small
diameter cable. Also included, assembled onto the
connector, is a ferrule protective cover for the ferrule
(front of connector) and a plunger protective cap for
the plunger (rear of connector).
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NEVER look into the end of terminated or
unterminated fibers. Laser radiation is invisible
but can damage eye tissue. NEVER eat, drink, or
smoke when working with fibers. This could lead
to ingestion of glass particles.
Be very careful to dispose offi ber ends properly.
The fibers create slivers that can easily puncture
the skin and cause irritation.
DO NOT use defective or damaged components.
Replace them with new components.
