HANDLING PRECAUTION for PD/APD MODULE

The NEC PD/APD module has heat shrink tubing to protect the ferrule edge (*1) and the junction between the

ferrule and the module body (*2). In order to avoid breaking the fiber and/or optical coupling degradation, NEC

recommends the following handling precautions.

1.

Do not make the fiber bend radius less than 30 mm (*3).

2.

Do not bend the fiber within the 18 mm section from the module body (*4).

3.

Do not stress the ferrule with a lateral force exceeding 500 g (*5).
