Fiberplex WGF-12 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the FiberPlex Waveguide WGF-12. This manual provides detailed instructions for installing the waveguide, including preparing the mounting surface, installing the bushing, securing the plug, and installing fiber optic cables. The manual also specifies torque requirements for the mounting nut and cap screw. I'm ready to answer your questions about this device and its installation process.
  • What size mounting holes are required?
    What is the maximum torque allowed when tightening the mounting nut?
    What is the torque for the cap screw?
