7705 SAR-F Installation Guide
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.
17). Cables are routed to the left or the right of the chassis.
• fiber cable boot (optional)
• cable ties (optional)
Attach the cable to the SFP port connector on the front of the router. If necessary,
attach the fiber cable boot according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Warning: Fiber cables are sensitive to bending, twisting and general over-
exertion. Extreme caution is recommended when handling fiber cable.
Route the cables to the left or the right of the chassis. If desired, loosely bundle the
cables together using a cable tie. Do not over-tighten the cable tie.
Note: Arrange the cables such that they do not impede the insertion or
removal of other equipment in the rack.
Attach the other end of the fiber cable to the attached equipment.
