(b) When optical fiber cable is connected, there are restrictions for the bending
radius of the cable.
Check the cable used for specific details.
(c) Maintain the bending radius of the optical fiber cable within the allowable
range using a tool for securing the optical fiber cable bending radius.
This tool may be purchased from Mitsubishi Electric System Service, Inc, or
your nearest dealer. Please inquire for more information.
(d) When laying the optical-fiber cables, do not touch the fiber cores of the cable
and module connectors, and do not let dust or particles collect on them.
If oil from hands, dust or particles adhere to the cores, the accumulated
transmission loss may cause malfunctions in the data link.
(e) When attaching or detaching the optical fiber cable to/from the module, pull
or insert the cable by holding the cable connector securely with your hand.
(f) Connect the cable and module connectors securely until you hear a "click"
sound.
