Optical Fiber Safety
• Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is
operating.
• This Rattler 4 contains CDRH Class 1 laser devices. To prevent damaging your eyes,
always avoid looking directly at, or staring into, the laser light located on an optical
connector or on the end of a fiber.
• Infrared radiation (invisible to the human eye) is produced at the ST fiber connection
and at the end of any un-terminated optical fibers that are attached to this connection.
Avoid any direct exposure to the light that comes from these sources.
• Do not power up the unit if there are no fiber connectors attached to the fiber port.
• There are no manual adjustments to be made inside the Rattler 4. Do not attempt any
type of service to this instrument, other than any as instructed this User Guide. Refer all
servicing to Grass Valley, a Belden Brand.
• Always keep the Fiber Optical connectors protected when not connected. Use
protective caps if available. This protects the connector from damage and the unlikely
event of exposure to an operating optical link. Keeping the connectors protected
when the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust from entering the
connector and degrading the performance of the optical link.
• You should read the Using Fiber Optics Guide for information on how to manage and
deploy your fiber optics cabling, safety precautions, tips & tricks, and recommendations
for creating complex fiber optic networks. You can find a copy of this document on the
Support portal (see
Contact Us on page 21).
