<strong>Fiber</strong> <strong>Optic</strong> Best Practices<br />
Warning: Do not look directly into a fiber optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber optic<br />
cables. <strong>Fiber</strong> optic transceivers and fiber optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser<br />
light that can damage your eyes.<br />
Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical instruments<br />
even if the interface has been disabled.<br />
Caution: Do not bend fiber optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending<br />
the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause problems<br />
that are difficult to diagnose.<br />
Caution: Do not let fiber optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow<br />
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stress the cables at the fastening point.<br />
<strong>Fiber</strong> <strong>Optic</strong> Protective Caps<br />
Before plugging a fiber cable into the <strong>Fiber</strong> port, you must remove the protective caps.<br />
Important: Always keep a protective cap on the fiber port when the fiber optic cable is<br />
unplugged.<br />
Connect <strong>Fiber</strong> Connector to <strong>Fiber</strong> <strong>Cable</strong><br />
To connect the fiber connector to the fiber cable refer to following steps and images:<br />
1. Unscrew the boot from rear of fiber connector and slide onto the fiber cable jacket.<br />

2. Remove approximately two (2) inches (50mm) of the cable jacket.<br />
Do not exceed two (2) inches (50mm).<br />

3. Place fiber connector into the verifier and fault locator (VLF). Ensure the activator slide<br />
tab is in the open position (towards the rear of the connector). Open the hinge at the<br />
rear of the connector.<br />
4. Pull the Kevlar strands back and locate the cable fiber. Gently remove the soft peel<br />
coating with fingertips/fingernails to within ½ inch (12 mm) of stripped fiber cable<br />
jacket.<br />
5. Using the fiber optic cleaver, cleave the fiber to the approximate measurement of 28<br />
mm (from the cable fiber jacket to the fiber tip).<br />

6. Insert cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until a slight bow is created and the<br />
light emitting from the connector dims/extinguishes.<br />
7. Slide the activator tab towards the fiber tip. Adjust the fiber so it is straight and not<br />
bowed. Remove the VFL, close the hinge onto the fiber cable jacket, and reinstall the<br />
dust cap onto the connector.<br />
8. Hold the Kevlar strands to one side and slide boot forward along with the Kevlar<br />
strands and thread the boot one turn. Cut the Kevlar strands as close to the boot as<br />
possible. Tighten the boot until secure.<br />
