Fiberplex WGF-6 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the FiberPlex Waveguide WGF-6. This document provides detailed instructions for installing the waveguide, including steps for preparing mounting holes, inserting fiber optic cables, and securing the plug. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the installation process or the features of the device.
  • What is the recommended diameter for mounting holes?
    What is the maximum torque for the mounting nut?
    What is the torque for the cap screw?
