4.8 Fiber Optic Requirements
4.8.1 Authorized Optic Cables
The following specified optic cables are authorized for use with ONE™ products:
Vertical
Horizontal
Plug & Play™ Plenum Optical cables
MTP Fiber Connectors
12 – 144 fibers
2-sided or 1-sided
Armored, non-armored
Composite Plenum Tether Assemblies
Fiber: LC APC, 2 – 24 fibers
Cu: 16AWG, 14AWG, 12AWG; 2 – 12 Conductors
Armored, non-armored
4.8.2 Fiber Optic Rules
• Use only MTP
®
or LC APC connectors
• UniCam connectors can be used for field termination
• Use only
fusion splice for connecting two fibers
• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers (< 0.5 dB)
• Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables:
• Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending and crushing forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for
the cable you are installing.
• Do not bend cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.
• Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.
• Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of
the cable. The cable may have to be replaced.
• Use an optical power meter and light source for checking the fiber optic cables
• Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables
• All fiber optic connectors should be cleaned prior to connecting to the system
• Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are
terminated.
• Pay special attention while connecting the MTP
®
and/or LC APC connectors – ensure that you hear a “click”, indicating a
secure connection
• Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can damage your
eyes.
