E.2.3 Precausions

„ It is only the mat side, not the hook side, of the binding strap contacts the fiber
jumpers.
„ Arrange the fiber jumpers tidily into a bundle before bundling them.
„ Bundle the fiber jumpers with appropriate tightness. Do not bind them too tight.

„ The spacing between two binding straps should not exceed 40 cm.
„ Do not bundle too many fiber jumpers together at a time. For 2 mm fiber jumpers,
100 pieces at most can be bound together. For 3 mm ones, 60 pieces at most can
be bound together. If there are a large number of fiber jumpers, bind them into
several bundles.
