Safety Notes on Laser Singlemode and Multimode-type

Connectors

The FMC-LX/SX uses one 850nm laser (Multimode Port) and one 1310 nm

laser (Singlemode Port) connector.

Observe caution when deploying equipment using laser optics. Non-eye safe

laser devices may be inadvertently connected to cabling that is intended to be

attached to eye-safe 850nm or 1310 nm laser driven equipment. This poses

a risk for eye and equipment damage. All fiber optic cables (connectors) that

are or may be connected to a laser source should be clearly labeled and as-

sumed to be connected to non-eye safe laser optics.

Note: _______________________________________________________________

Do not connect non-eye safe laser devices to eye-safe class equipment. Non-

eye safe laser driven devices, besides damaging eye sight, can permanently

damage eye-safe (low-power laser) rated equipment. Such damage will not

be covered by warranty. Net Optics, Inc. disclaims all liability for damages

arising from mis-use or incorrect installation of laser driven equipment.

______________________________________________________________________

CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO VERIFY ANY FIBER OPTIC

CONNECTION BY LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO A FIBER-OPTIC PORT

OR CABLE. IF THE LIGHT SOURCE IS A NON-EYE SAFE, LASER

EMITTER, PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

NEVER LOOK INTO THE BORE OF A FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR!
