    Fiber Fabry-Perot Tunable Filter | FFP-TF2 GETTING STARTED (1) Carefully unpack the filter from the special shipping case, taking extra care to avoid breaking the optical fiber (fig. 1). NOTE: the filter is shipped with a loose-tube jacket to provide added protection to the fiber pigtails. Pulling on the fiber while holding onto the jacket can break the fiber inside the filter enclosure and destroy the filter.
