13.6. Cable Strength
13.6.1. Cable Pull Strength
Affixed the scanner to an immovable object and pulled it using a force of 49N (5.0
kgf) for 1 minute. Observed no abnormality in either structure or performance.
13.6.2. Cable Bend Strength
As shown below, added a load of 4.9N (500 g) to a cable then bent it at an angle
of 90 degrees to both right and left. Count 1 time by bending to either side;
repeated this 3 million times on RS-232C and Wedge cables and repeated 1
million times on USB cable. Observed no abnormality in either structure or
performance. Note: Cable bending resistance is not warrantable.

14. Reliability MTBF (mean time between failures) of this product except for the laser diode and the mirror
motor scan unit is 30,000 hours.
Life cycle of the laser diode is 10,000 hours and that of the mirror motor scan unit is also
10,000 hours.
The estimate of MTBF and product life cycle is based on standard operation of the product
within the recommended temperature range and without extreme electronic or mechanical
shock.
