Cable Interruption Occurs frequently In this case check out the length measurement result A value of O zero for cable length points to a fault located at the near end 71 CHAPTER 8 Fiber Testing with FiberTEK FDX 8 1 Safety Precautions A WARNING NEVER look directly into the port of measuring adapter at connector surface open fiber ends or into couplers There is a risk of light emerging from the fiber that is not visible which could permanently damage your eyes If you are not sure whether the device is switched on or whether the fiber transmits light for safety reasons always assume that the device is active Handle bare fibers properly there is a risk of injury from fiber splinters Protect your eyes when working with bare fibers fiber splinters could permanently damage your eyes Never let fiber scraps lie openly and never dispose of them loosely in normal waste containers there is a risk of injury from fiber splinters A CAUTION When connecting the measuring adapter to a light conducting line the maximum measuring range must be observed see specifications of individual modules Exceeding it could result in damages to FiberTEK FDX modules 8 2 Notes on Cleaning Measuring Adapter and Patch Cord NOTE Before connecting cable adapter to FiberTEK FDX adapter ensure that the plugs of cable connectors are clean Clean ferrules of measuring adapter only with dry lint free non abrasive materi
