Advertencia: Los equipos de fibra óptica pueden emitir radiaciones
de láser o infrarrojas que pueden dañar los ojos. No mire nunca en el
interior de una fibra óptica ni de un puerto de conexión. Suponga
siempre que los cables de fibra óptica están conectados a una fuente
luminosa.

Avvertenza: Le apparecchiature a fibre ottiche emettono raggi laser o
infrarossi che possono risultare dannosi per gli occhi. Non guardare
mai direttamente le fibre ottiche o le porte di collegamento. Tenere in
considerazione il fatto che i cavi a fibre ottiche sono collegati a una
sorgente luminosa.
