Handling Instructions for Fiberoptic Components
CAUTION! Any extreme stresses onto the optical cable could degrade the
optical performance or damage the fiber.
• Do not pull on the fibers !
• Never bend an optical cable more sharply than a 35mm radius!
• Bending over any sharp edges may damage or break the fiber!
• Avoid excessive heat near cables!
•
All optical connectors should remain covered with dust cups in place when not in use.
Cleaning & Mating Instructions for Optical Connectors
• Clean both connectors prior to mating by using a high-grade isopropyl alcohol and a
cotton swab.
• Allow connectors have to dry before mating.
• Insert the connector ferrule into the appropriate adapter smoothly.
• Do not over-tighten the connectors.
•
Specifications for the eol series switches are based on an optimal connection. If the
resulting values are unacceptable, please repeat the cleaning procedure and start
again.
