3.4 CABLE SUPPORT INSTALLATION
Relieve the strain from the cables attached to the FOT-F3,
whether or not the transceiver is mounted to a surface such as
a wall.
Note: Be sure each cable is securely attached to its port and that
the slide latch on the AUI connector is secured to the lock posts
on the AUI port. See Figure 3-2.
To provide strain relief to cables connected to a surface
mounted FOT-F3, proceed to Section 3.4.1. For a FOT-F3 that
is not surface mounted, proceed to Section 3.4.2.
3.4.1 Cable Strain Relief for Surface Mounted
FOT-F3
Refer to Figure 3-4 and proceed as follows to relieve the strain
on cables connected to a surface-mounted FOT-F3:
1. Remove the protective paper from one of the cable mounts
and attach the mount to the wall three inches from the
FOT-F3 fiber optic ports.
2. Repeat step 1, placing the other cable mount four inches
from the AUI port.
3. Use the tie wraps to secure each cable to its respective
cable mount.
