Handling Optical Cable
CAUTION
The core of any fiber optic cable is glass. For this reason it should be handled with care and
should not be viewed like a standard conventional electrical cable. If it is pinched, twisted,
over bent or crushed, the glass core will break and the light attenuation will occur at this point.
Fiber optic sensors are pretty robust but…

Avoid sharp bend

Avoid kinking, twisting

Avoid putting any tension on the cable

Avoid dropping connector on hard surfaces
Like your car Windshield or your glasses, the optical connector must stay clean to gives good results.
Always keep the protective cap on, to protect them when they are not connected
Clean both connectors each time you connect them, because a small particle of dust on one connector
could scratch both connectors.
