Fiber Handling Guidelines
Step 1
Protective caps are provided with the optical cord connectors.(Figure 5-2). When
optical cords are not going to be used for a long time, put the protective caps back
on the optical connectors and seal the cords in a vinyl bag.
Step 2
Do not expose the optical cords to direct sunlight. The recommended storage
temperature is –10
°
to +60
°
C (14
°
to 140
°
F), and the maximum recommended
relative humidity is 90 percent.
Step 3
Never apply excessive force to the connector by pulling, bending, or twisting the
cord when the coupling nut is tightened (Figure 5-3).
