Notes:
1. Storage and Operating Temperatures refer to the ranges over which the connectors can be used when not subjected to mechanical stress.
Installation Temperature refers to the ranges over which connectors may be installed onto the fiber and over which connectors can be con-
nected and disconnected from transmitter and receiver modules.
2. Recommended nut torque is 0.57 N-m.

Notes:
1. Typical data are at +25°C.
2. No perceivable reduction in retention force was observed after 2000 insertions. Retention force of non-latching connectors is lower at elevated
temperatures. Latching connectors are recommended for applications where a high retention force at high temperatures is desired.
3. For applications where frequent temperature cycling over temperature extremes is expected, please contact Avago Technologies for alternate
connectoring techniques.
4. Minimum and maximum limit for aCC for 0°C to +70°C temperature range. Typical value of aCC is at +25°C.
5. Factory polish or field polish per recommended procedure.
6. Destructive insertion force was typically at 178 N (40 lb.).
