Caution
Do not bend the fiber-optic cable too much. The
bending radius must be no less than 25 mm. |
Fiber optic cables must not be routed over sharp
edges. |
The fiber-optic cable must not be dirty or touched
with bare fingers. |
Fiber optic cables may not be heated. |
It is not permitted to twist together 2 fiber optic
cables or one fiber optic cable with a copper wire. |
Protect the connector and the connection box from
