Handling Fiber-Optic Cables
Labeling Cables
If you need to replace a cable between switches, be sure to clearly label it to identify its
connection.
On each label, include the fabric, zone, and layer of the switch, and the slot number,
and port number the cable will be connected to. For example: switch X12, slot 12, port
1 one end of the cable and switch X14, slot 12, port 1 on the other end.
Caution. When connecting the cables:
•
Handle the fiber-optic cables gently. Do not step on a fiber-optic cable or place a heavy
object on top of a fiber-optic cable.
•
If the cable must be installed with a bend, make sure the bend radius is not smaller than
16 inches (3-4 mm).
