Connector contamination due to fiber mishandling is the single greatest point of failure
in many fiber-optic networks. The optical connectors used in deploying the hdHost PS
must be clean and free of contaminants prior to connection.
This appendix describes the recommended procedures for cleaning and handling fiber-
optic cable, including:
Laser Safety Warnings
Fiber Handling Guidelines
Bend Radius Guidelines
Inspecting Fiber-Optic Connectors
Cleaning Fiber-Optic Connectors
Laser Safety Warnings
This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules.
This equipment contains components that emit laser radiation which can seriously damage the
retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical
transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may result. Place a protective cap or lid
immediately over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid potential damage
caused by radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles entering the openings.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be
immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential
of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from
entering the adapter or connector.
Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing or patch cords and pigtails without severe
bends. Optical fiber patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent or curved to a
radius of less than 2 inches (50mm).
Safety Guidelines
Observe all local carrier and manufacturer-suggested safety practices
concerning fiber handling and preservation.
Observe all local carrier and manufacturer-suggested requirements for safety
on the job.
