Fiber-optic Cable Handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
■ Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 in.) in diameter.
■ Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 in.) in radius. StorageTek
recommends that a cable’s bend radius be no less than 20 times the diameter of
the cable.
■ Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
■ Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach
pulling devices to the cables or connectors.
■ Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or wear
through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have protective
edging.
■ Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
■ Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not connected.
