Secure the cables so that they do not support their own weight. Place excess cable
4.
out 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. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
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.

Fiber-optic cables connect to optical transceivers that are installed in Juniper Networks
devices.
To maintain fiber-optic cables:
When you unplug a fiber-optic cable from a transceiver, place rubber safety caps over
the transceiver and on the end of the cable.
Anchor fiber-optic cables to prevent 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.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending fiber-optic
cables into arcs smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and
cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
