11..55..55 Optical SurfacesOptical Surfaces
The optical interfaces - transmitter as well as receiver - are very sensitive to
contamination. Be aware that contamination of the optical surfaces may result
in severe loss of signal.

11..55..66 Cautions on Handling Optical Fiber CablesCautions on Handling Optical Fiber Cables
Optical fiber cables may degrade in performance or be damaged if handled
improperly. Note the following points when handling them.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Do not pull the cable when removing the connector.Do not pull the cable when removing the connector.
Doing so may break the optical fiber inside the cable, or remove the cable
sheath from the optical connector.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Do not excessively bend, fold, or pinch an optical fiber cable.Do not excessively bend, fold, or pinch an optical fiber cable.
Doing so may break the optical fiber inside the cable.
Keep the bend radius of an optical fiber cable at 30 mm or more. If the radius
is less, optical fiber cable loss will increase.
