Precautions for Use
● Necessary ESD protection measures should be implemented to prevent static electricity- induced damage.
● Do not pull the tail fiber directly to avoid damaging the components.
● Keep the optical connector clean to prevent dust or other foreign particles from contaminating it and affecting its performance.
