Handling Equipment
Pluggable transceivers can be damaged or effectively destroyed by
electrostatic discharge (ESD) during installation, removal, storage, or
shipment. Please note that discharge might go unnoticed by a
technician. Always follow the ESD-prevention instructions mentioned
below! For more details, see the European Standards EN 100015-1 to 4.
• Handle all pluggable transceivers as electrostatic sensitive devices.
• Always wear a properly grounded wrist strap and use a grounded work surface
whenever handling pluggable transceivers.
• Do not remove a pluggable transceiver from its static-protective package until you
are ready to install it.
• Always transport and store a pluggable transceiver (even temporarily) in its original
static-protective package and shipping box.
• Do not touch the host connector of the pluggable transceiver.
• The optical ports of a pluggable transceiver are equipped with a dust cover on
delivery to prevent impurities. Always keep the dust cover in the receptacles as long
as the pluggable transceiver is stored or fiber-optic cables are not plugged in.
• Do not dispose of a waste pluggable transceiver with the normal trash because of it is
an electronic product.
The final disposal of any pluggable transceiver should be handled
according to all relevant national laws and regulations of your country.
Handling Fiber-Optic Cables
In the following, the term fiber-optic cable refers to all types of glass fibers used by the
FSP 3000R7.
Note
Fiber-optic cables require special handling and connecting procedures.
They can be damaged when handled or routed improperly.
To avoid damaging the glass fiber you are strongly advised to observe the following
guidelines:
• Fiber-optic cables should never be bent at sharp angles (less than a 30 mm (1.2 in)
radius. The minimum bend radius of optical fiber cables is about 30 mm – 50 mm (1.2
in – 2.0 in).
• Make sure to only use fiber-optic cables with a flexible bending protection.
• Do not knot or extremely flex fiber-optic cables.
• Without support, fiber-optic cables should only be routed over short distances to
avoid mechanical stress. Frequent over-stressing can cause progressive
degeneration of the cables.
• Avoid tightening or pressuring fiber-optic cables.
• Avoid twisting or crossing one cable over another.
• Avoid excess cable length in breakout area. Use spiral wrap.
• Do not bunch the cables in a tight clump with a cable clamp or tie strap.
