Fig. D.4 Prior to installing a cable
D Take care to keep both parts of the optical connector (cable side and
PCB side) clean. If they become dirty, wipe them with tissue paper or
absorbent cotton to remove dirt. The tissue paper or absorbent cotton
may be moistened with ethyl alcohol. Do not use any organic solvent
other than ethyl alcohol.
D Fix the reinforcing cover of the external cable or the cord binding
portion of the internal cord type cable by using a cable clamp, as
shown in Fig. D.5, to prevent the weight of the optical fiber cable
from being applied directly to the connecting part of the optical
connector.
(Recommended cable clamp):
Recommended cable clamps are listed below. Use a clamp
that grasps the optical cable lightly; the clamp should not
apply excessive pressure to the cable.
For an external cable:

For an internal cord type cable:
