Gently push the plug-into the E2000/APC adapter.
The cover will automatically disengage.
Push until a click is heard and the connector locks.

2.2.7
Minimum bend radius
Because optical fibre is made of glass, it is important not to subject it to excessive stress. For this
reason, each type of cable has a minimum bend radius (MBR) specification, beyond which the cable
cannot be bent without permanent damage occurring. Systems using longer wavelength (i.e.
1550nm) are less tolerant to small bend radii.
The minimum bend radius of standard SMF28 fibre optic cable fitted to
ViaLiteHD
modules is 50mm.
MBR specifications for
ViaLite Communications
supplied fibre optic cables are given in the
ViaLite
Classic
and
ViaLiteHD
System Handbooks Lxx-HB and Hxx-HB respectively.
