Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) Diagnosis

Overview

The basic guidelines are covered in the description and operation. Communications Network such as not attempting to repair fibre optic cables, but additional precautions include:
^ Do not touch the exposed ends of the optical fibres (grease from skin can contaminate the fibre)
^ Whenever the fibre optic cable is disconnected, cover the connectors to prevent dust contamination
^ Do not expose the fibre optic cable to heat
^ Do not bend the fibre optic cable through less than a 25 mm (one inch) radius
^ Do not use laser pens to test the fibre optic cable's ability to pass light There is a dedicated tester to use with the MOST network modules and fibre optic harness to assist with diagnosis and to test the fibre optic cable's ability to pass light
