GBIC Maintenance Guidelines

To properly maintain GBICs, follow these guidelines:

•GBICs are sensitive to static. To prevent ESD damage, follow normal handling procedures.

•GBICs are sensitive to dust. When the GBIC is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep plugs in the optical bores.

•The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
