When not installed in the routers, FPCs must be either stored in the container in which a
spare FPC is shipped or stored horizontally with the component-side up on a flat, stable
surface. When you store an FPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping container,
always place it inside an antistatic bag. Because the FPC is heavy and because antistatic
bags are fragile, inserting the FPC into the bag is easier with two people. The storage
guidelines are as follows:
When two people are storing an FPC, one person holds the FPC in the horizontal position
with the faceplate facing their body, the other person slides the opening of the bag
over the FPC connector edge.
When one person is storing an FPC, you must insert the FPC into a bag by yourself. First
lay the FPC horizontally on a flat, stable surface, component-side up. Orient the FPC
with the faceplate facing you. Carefully insert the FPC connector edge into the opening
of the bag, and pull the bag toward you to cover the FPC.
CAUTION: To prevent damage when storing FPCs:
Never lay an FPC component-side down.
Never stack an FPC under or on top of any other component (see
