Warning:
• Fiber cables are sensitive to bending, twisting, and general over-exertion. Extreme
caution is recommended when handling fiber cable.
• In order to ensure that the minimum fiber bend radius of 1.2 in. (3.0 cm) is maintained
within the allowable space, an open-angled 90º boot such as TYCO 1374737-x or
equivalent is recommended. The boots must be installed and oriented during fiber
termination.
• Observe proper fiber connector handling with respect to the use of dust covers and
cleaning.
