CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
3.
NOTE: The XFP cages and optics on the DPC are industry standard parts that have
limited tactile feedback for insertion of optics and fiber. You need to insert the optics
and fiber firmly until the latch is securely in place.
4.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.

Connecting DPC Cables
Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the DPC faceplate.
Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging
or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own
weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps
to maintain its shape.
