They are reasonably fragile and it's easy to break lots of fibers.
     Some problems I've had with FO cables in the past were caused by
     unnecessarily tight, sharp bends, especially those that crimp the
     outer jacket.  Also, during final chassis / unit assembly, be careful
     about crunching these cables with tie-wrap guns.
