NOTE: 1.
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the
cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply
than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable
than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can
alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
