Handling Optical Cable and SFP+ Modules
IMPORTANT – FRAGILE
Minimum bending radius of optical cable is 100 mm. Don’t bend
cable more than this. This applies to the whole length of the
cable and it is especially important to pay attention to computer
end of the cable as it is more flexible.
Never touch optical cable fiber ends with bare hands or let the
fiber ends touch anything else but cleaning equipment.
Never put anything inside the optical fiber slots of the SFP+
module
