About this User Guide
This CopperHead 3050 Fiber Optic Transceiver System can be delivered in a number of
configurations depending on the Power and Battery Mount options selected. This User
Guide is designed to cover all of the various options and so not every page in this Guide will
apply to your specific system.
Safety and Fiber Optic Systems
Optical Fiber Safety
Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is
operating.
Always use cable connector caps when the cables are not connected. This protects the
connector from damage and the unlikely event of exposure to an operating optical link.
Keeping the caps in place when the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust
from entering the connector and degrading the performance of the optical link.
