The optic cables must be handled carefully so as not to distort the signal. |
||
| • |
It is extremely important that the two leads in the connector are not mixed up.
|
|
| • |
The cables cannot be spliced.
|
|
| • |
The lead must not be bent to form a curve with a radius of less than 25 mm.
|
|
| • |
The lead must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 185°F (85°C).
|
|
| • |
The lead ends should be kept free from dirt.
|
|
| • |
The lead must not be subjected to blows that could cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby reducing light intensity. This could cause disruptions in communication.
|
|
| • |
The lead should not be stretched across a sharp edge, which would cause increased damping of the signal.
