Maintaining Fiber-Optic Cables in a PTX1000

98
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in the PTX1000:
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.

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. Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage
the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: 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.
To maintain fiber-optic cables in a PTX1000:
When you unplug fiber-optic cables from transceivers, place rubber safety caps over
the transceivers and on the end of the cables.
Anchor fiber-optic cables to avoid stress on the connectors. When attaching a
fiber-optic cable to a transceiver, be sure to secure the fiber-optic cable so that it does
not support its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Never let a fiber-optic cable hang
free from the connector.
