Cable and Connector Clearance Requirements
You may need to allow more space for installation of cables and connectors than what is
required for heat dissipation. To avoid impacting mechanical reliability and signal quality, cable
installation must comply with the minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer.
Cable Clearance Example
In this example, a PNS002 module is installed with a fiber optic cable that has the following
characteristics:
SC-Duplex connector length: 27mm (1.07 inches)
Manufacturer-recommended long-term minimum bend radius: 30mm (1.2 inches)
The minimum clearance required to insert the connector into a port is 57mm (2.27 inches).
Additional clearance is recommended to provide physical access. In the case of the PNS002,
the space required for cabling will be greater than the space required to meet thermal ratings.
