Caution



Special warning for all Pike/Stingray models with GOF con-

nectors:

GOF connectors are very sensitive. Any dust or dirt may cause

damage.

• Always keep the GOF connector and optical fiber plug

clean.

• If GOF connection is not in use, keep GOF dust cover on

the GOF connector.

• Reduce mating cycles to a minimum to prevent abra-

sion.

• Please note that optical fiber cables have a very limited

deflection curve radius.
