Best Practices
• Take care when using the laser equipment to prevent eye damage
• Protect the Fiber Optic Cable and the Fiber Optic Connectors. Always keep these
capped unless there are being connected.
• Make sure that the
Terrapin FTR‐D6
unit is secure and cannot be inadvertently moved.
Mounting the unit to a wall, the floor, or a piece of plywood using the mounting holes
on the unit can ensure safe and continuous operation.

• Be as careful during System tear down as during System setup.
• Read the Using Fiber Optics Guide for information on how to manage and deploy your
fiber optics cabling, safety precautions, tips & tricks, and recommendations for creating
complex fiber optic networks. You can find a copy of this document on the Support
