Optical fiber cables may degrade in performance or be damaged if handled
improperly. Note the following points when handling them.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Do not excessively pull on or twist an optical fiber cable.
Also, do not hang anything by using a cable. Doing so may break the optical
fiber inside the cable.
CAUTION
Be careful not to hit the end of an optical connector against
anything hard such as the floor or a desk by dropping the optical
fiber cable.
Doing so may damage the connector end and increase connection loss.
