IMPORTANT: To avoid damage when handling optical fibres, comply with the following points:
  • The minimum permitted bending radius is 25 mm
  • Do not subject optical fibres to compressive and tensile load
  • Protect optical fibres against the effects of heat ≥85 °C (e.g. during welding work, drying work with infrared beams or hot air blower)
  • Fibre-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fibre-optic cables if necessary
