Fiber Optic Cable Handling

When handling a fiber optic cable, please take these precautions:

• Never touch the polished end of the fiber cable.
• To prevent serious eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable connector or mating adapter.
• Clean all fiber optics before installing them into your network according to prescribed procedures.
• Ensure that the bend radius of your fiber cables is kept to a minimum of 3” or that specified by the fiber cable manufacturer.
• Perform all cabling procedures according to the established standards for your organization.
