3. Preparing the Cable
CAUTION:
The wearing of cut-resistant safety gloves to protect your hands from accidental injury
when using sharp-bladed tools and armored cable is strongly recommended. Use extreme care
when working with severed armor. There will be a sharp edge where armor is cut. To minimize
the chance of injury from the cut armor, cover the exposed edge with a wrap of electrical tape. To
minimize the chance of injury from sharp-bladed tools, always cut away from yourself and others.
Dispose of used blades and armor scrap properly.
CAUTION:
Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87, for eye
protection from accidental injury when handling chemicals, cables, or working with fiber. Pieces of
glass fiber are very sharp and have the potential to damage the eye.
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the
cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that
can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
