4. On some applications, it may be necessary to provide some form
of cable support after removing the strain relief. If your
application involves a long cable droop, or a heavy unsupported
wire bundle, it is recommended you zip tie the fiber optic cable at
a point that will prevent the weight of the cable from being solely
supported by the plug in connectors.
5. If the cable is kinked or nicked during installation, it MUST be
replaced. A kinked or damaged cable greatly reduces signal
strength and could cause the drive to fault.
Cable Type – Recommended cables are shown in the following
table. These cables are available in precut, popular lengths for ease
of use.
