Failure to comply with the following may result in equipment damage.
• Always keep a protective cap on disconnected fiber optic cables.
• Dispose of any used fiber optic cleaning material after use.
• Never touch or blow air from your mouth into the end of a fiber optic cable as it can
• Bending the cable more than the minimum bend radius of 200 mm (7
Oil deposits and dust particles on the surface of a fiber optic can cause loss of light or a degraded
signal. These contaminants may also transfer into the barrel of the connector they are inserted into.
Therefore, you must inspect the fiber optic cables prior to connecting them.
1. Turn off the breakers for the laser modules.
2. Remove the key from the laser rack key switch.
3. Remove the four screws securing the fiber optic strain relief cover and set the screws and cover
aside.
4. Remove the four screws securing the breakout ferrule and set the screws and ferrule aside.
5. Thread the projector end of the fiber bundle through the fiber optic strain relief from inside of
the laser rack to outside, being mindful of the minimum bend radius.
6. Replace the breakout ferrule in the center of the fiber optic strain relief with the four screws
removed in step 4.
7. Replace the cover of the fiber optic strain relief with the four screws removed in step 3.
8. Carefully untangle the individual fiber optic cables.
9. Remove the circular, black cap protecting the laser module SMA termination point on the top
laser module.
10. Remove the tethered end cap from the fiber optic SMA connector.
11. Using a fiberscope, inspect the end of the fiber optic connector.
12. If it is dirty, blow the surface with a stream of clean dry air (CDA) to dislodge larger, loose,
particles.
13. Re-inspect the fiber optic cable.
