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!
