IMPORTANT:
The following expert knowledge is required for optical cables. Note the following on
connections of optical cables.
If dust and/or fingerprints adhere to contacts on a fibre channel cable, then the
optical power and/or sensitivity of the cable may decrease to make the cable
unavailable. Accordingly, before a fibre channel cable can be connected to an SFP+
module or fibre channel device, it should be cleaned by compressed air spray or
exclusive cleaner to remove adhesions on the contacts.
Route a fibre channel cable with bending radius of 50 mm or larger.
Do not put labels near the ends of a fibre channel cable if required. The tips of the
optical connectors are opened to cause poor connections.
The cores of fibre channel cables are made of quartz glass. Thus, the tips of a
connector are highly sensitive to be damaged easily by mechanical shock or
collision with a hard object.
NOTE:
The part numbers of available optical cables are as follows.

Do not use any unauthorized interface cable.
Use only interface cables provided by NEC and locate a proper device and
connector before connecting a cable. Using an authorized cable or connecting a
cable to an improper destination may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.
Also, observe the following notes on using and connecting an interface cable.
Do not use any damaged cable connector.
Do not step on the cable.
Do not place any object on the cable.
Do not use the Blade Enclosure with loose cable connections.
Do not use any damaged cable.
