Handling Fiber Optic Cable & Connectors
This product is supplied with anglepolished connectors (APC) and these must not be confused
with standard flat, spherical or "super" polished connectors. These connector types are not
interchangeable and mating one with the other will damage both the cable and the equipment.
The specification of the optical connector is critical to the performance of the complete fiber
optic link.
Note that a yellow jumper indicates single mode fiber, but the connector end must be green
indicating an angle cut connector (APC).
Ensure that all mating connectors are matched types. All Optical Zonu equipment uses APC
connectors.
Figure 10. Optical Zonu products use APC (angle polished connectors). These are
always single mode and are indicated by a green boot. Do not try to connect UPC
(ultra-polish connectors indicated by a blue boot). These are flat polished
connectors that will damage the mating APC connector.
