• Clean the connector before making a connection. Make sure that there are no obstructions
and that keyways are aligned.
Fiber-optic cable handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
•
Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 inches) in diameter.
•
Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 inches) in radius. HP recommends that a cable’s
bend radius be no less than 20 times the diameter of the cable.
•
Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
•
Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach pulling devices to
the cables or connectors.
•
Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or wear through the
cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have protective edging.
•
Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
•
Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not connected.
