2.4 Fiber Optic Requirements
2.4.1 Authorized Optic Cables
• Only single mode fiber can be used with HX 2.5 GHz TDD product
• All fiber in a given length of fiber must be of the same core diameter.
• All bulkhead adapters must be single mode SC APC (green) adapters.
• All terminations, cross connections or patches must be direct fusion splice or Corning specified patch cords listed
below.

2.4.2 Fiber Optic Rules
ATTENTION!
Please also refer to the laser safety section in the document preface.
• Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with staples, heavy
equipment, doors, etc.
• Always maintain the minimum bending radius specified by the cable manufacturer. The minimum bend radius is
usually 10 times the cable's outer diameter. In the case of single optical fiber that is not in a cable, the minimum
bending radius to be observed is 30 mm.
• Use SC APC connectors (green color) 8 deg only.
• Pay special attention while connecting the SC APC connectors - ensure that you hear a “click”, indicating a secure
connection
• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers.
• Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables.
• Use an optical power meter and OTDR 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.
• Check the fiber optic connections.
