4.5.1 Precautions for handling the optical fiber cable

Special precautions, differing from the conventional cable, are required when laying and handling the optical
fiber cable.
(1) General precautions]
(a) A protective cap is attached to the optical module and optical fiber cable mounted on the PCB when
the system is delivered. Leaving this protective cap unattached could result in connection faults
from the adherence of dirt and dust. Do not remove the protective cap when not connecting the
cable. If dirty, wipe off lightly with a piece of dry gauze, etc. (Do not use solvents such as alcohol as
the optical fiber material could melt.)
(b) Be sure to hold the connector section when connecting or disconnecting the optical connector.
Unless you hold the connector section, the optical fiber cable may be damaged and disabled.
(c) The optical connector cannot be connected in reversed.
connecting it.
press the connector straight in. Confirm that the lock lever connects with the optical module and
that a "click" is heard.
(d) When disconnecting the optical fiber cable from the PCB, press the lock release buttons on the lock
lever, and pull out the cable while holding the connector section. The connector could be damaged
if the cable is pulled without pressing down on the lock release buttons.
(e) Do not apply excessive force onto the optical fiber cable by stepping on it or dropping tools, etc., on
it.
Align the connector lock lever with the lock holes on the PCB's optical module, and
