Guidelines for handling terminated fiber cable
• Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber.
• Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected.
• Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber connectors.
• Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss.
• Do not touch fiber ends.
• Store excess fiber on housing spools or fiber spools at site
