Cable connections
Fibre optics cable
Handling
•
Always handle fiber optic cables delicately and by the connector housing.
•
Avoid acute bends in the cable, as this could break the fiber optic link inside the cable
Connecting
•
Always perform one connection at a time.
•
Remove the dust caps on the fiber optic connectors (you may have to rotate the cap to
loosen it).
•
Holding the cable by the connector housing, insert the cable connector into the connec-
tor on the device, making sure to align the keying features so the connectors are prop-
erly mated, then turn the connector clockwise to lock it.
•
To disconnect the cable connector, turn it counterclockwise, then pull it from the con-
nector on the device.
Cleaning
•
Clean the connectors on both the cable and the devices with a lint-free, alcohol-damp-
ened cloth.
•
Thoroughly wipe the side and end of the ferrule.
•
Blow the ferrule with compressed air, or allow it to air dry, before reconnecting the ca-
ble.
•
Visually inspect the ferrule for lint.
•
When not connected, replace the protective cap onto connector ends.
The DirectRay Interface card is PCI-bus compatible.
