Connecting IOC Cables

Connect the IOCs to the network by plugging in network cables. Follow this procedure
(see Figure 34 on page 61, which shows a fiber-optic IOC):
1.
2.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
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.
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 IOC Cables
Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the IOC.
If the cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.
Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the IOC 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.
