Appendix B Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Information
The fiber is made of a very pure, expensive glass and should be treated with great care.
Handle fibers only in areas that are very clean and do not contain sharp objects.
Wear finger cots or gloves as dirt and oils can damage the fiber and contaminate
connectors.
Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber. If tangles occur, carefully work out the
tangles avoiding pulling or bending the fibre beyond its bend radius.
Always use the correct tools for stripping and cleaving the fiber. It will save time and
reduce breakage caused by scratches.
If you must secure a bundle of fiber cables together, avoid plastic and metal tie wraps;
secure with velcro instead.
6. Disposing of the Unit
Dispose of the unit and its components (including batteries) as specified by all national
