4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain
their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend
radius.An arcsmallerthan a few inches in diameter candamage the cables
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the
fastening point.

Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a Switch
EX Series switches and OCX1100 switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical
transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin disconnecting a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed
in a switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of
lasers. See “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for Switches” on page 287.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
•
A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
