Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter or into the receiver end of an active
fiber. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead
adapter/receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential exposure to dangerous
infrared optical radiation. The protective cover also prevents dirt particles from entering the
connector.

Note: If using biconic or ST receptacles, install a 0 dB build-out to permit installation of
the patch cord.

Note: For better access to the vertical cable guides, the patch cord shield may optionally
be removed during installation, as shown in

Figure 33
