61 00 ... - Notes on handling optical fibers





Caution!
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 heater or hot air blower)
- Optical fibers are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace optical fibers if necessary





Note:
The optical fibers are colored differently as follows:
- Green=MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) optical fibers
- Yellow=ISIS (Intelligent Safety and Integration System) optical fibers
- Orange=repair optical fibers
