2.1.4. Handling And Connecting Fibers

Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber

connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the optical end

facet of a connector before making a connection.

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.

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.
