Warnings and caution

•
Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the recommended minimum
bend radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when installing fiber optic cables and patch
cords.
•
Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical
fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
•
Pay attention to the routing of the patch cords. These should move/hang freely, where they leave the bend control.
If you see that there is tension occuring on the patch cords, please reroute these.
