Connectors are generally color coded; connect blue or dark grey cable connectors to
blue or dark grey (receive) back-side connectors. Connect black or grey cable connec-
tors to black or grey (transmit) back-side connectors.
Fiber optical cables are sensitive to handling. Do not bend too sharply. The minimum
curvature radius is 15 cm for plastic fibers and 25 cm for glass fibers. If cable straps are
used, apply with loose fit.
Caution!
Always hold the connector, never the cable, when connecting or disconnecting optical
fibres. Do not twist, pull or bend the fibre. Invisible damage may increase fibre damp-
ing thus making communication impossible.
