24.2 Managing fiber optic cables
This section describes how to  fiber optic cables for line cards in the 7360 ISAM WM 
shelf.
24.2.1 General safety and operations information
This section provides general safety and operations information. See the 
7360 ISAM FX Safety Manual for more information.
Danger —  Non-terminated optical connectors may emit 
invisible laser radiation. Serious eye damage may occur if the 
laser beam is viewed directly or with improper optical 
instruments. Avoid direct exposure to the laser beam.
Warning 1 —  Do not use nylon cable ties for securing fiber optic 
cable.
Warning 2 —  During card installation, proper fiber 
management is crucial. Improper fiber placement can cause 
the fibers to crimp and become damaged.
Caution 1 —  When working with optical fiber cable, it is 
essential to use caution to avoid breaking the fibers. Do not 
pull, kink, or twist the optical fiber cable. If the cable is kinked, 
pulled, twisted, or otherwise damaged, it must be discarded 
and replaced with another cable.
Caution 2 —  Avoid sharp bends in cables. Use the proper bend 
radius when installing cables. The minimum bending radius of 
fiber optic cable is 1.5 in. (38 mm), or 20 times the cable 
diameter, whichever is greater.
