Notes on handling optical fibers (2016-2022)
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage when handling optical fibers, comply with the following points:
- The minimum permitted bending radius is 25 mm
- Do not subject optical fibers to compressive and tensile load
- Protect optical fibers against the effects of heat ≥85 °C (e.g. during welding work, drying work with infrared beams or hot air blower)
- Fiber-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fiber-optic cables if necessary
NOTE:
The optical fibers are colored differently as follows:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystem T ransport) optical fiber
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntegrated S ervice and I nformation S erver) optical fiber
- Orange=repair optical fibers
Follow notes for processing cables and optical fibers. Refer to CRIMPING OPTICAL FIBERS and CUTTING, STRIP OFF INSULATION AND CRIMPING OPTICAL FIBERS .
