Fiber-optic Cable Handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
•
Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 in.) in diameter.
•
Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 in.) in radius. StorageTek
recommends that a cable's bend radius be no less than 20 times the
diameter of the cable.
•
Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
•
Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach
pulling devices to the cables or connectors.
•
Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or
wear through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have
protective edging.
•
Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
•
Install the connector's protective cover whenever the connector is not
connected.
xviii
Clean the connector before making a connection. Make sure that there
are no obstructions and that keyways are aligned.
