Safety Notes on Laser Singlemode and Multimode-type
Connectors
The CV-LX/GCU uses (invisible) 1310 nm wavelength, eye-safe type, laser,
singlemode.connectors ...
The CV-SX/GCU uses (visible) 850 nm wave length, eye-safe type, laser
multimode.connectors .
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.850.nm.or.1300.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!
