The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore
care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz
recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will
decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with
cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the
frame that does not have a suitable I/O module. For further information about care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design chapter in the front of the binder.
