Potential sources of danger
Beware of the following potential sources of danger which will remain despite all safety
measures taken:
• Laser radiation can cause damage to the skin and eyes.
• Laser radiation from optical transmission systems is in a wavelength range that is
invisible to the human eye.
Laser classes
The maximum output power of laser radiation depends on the type of laser diode used. The
international standard IEC 60825-1 as well as the Food and Drug Administration's Center
for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) regulations define the maximum output
power of laser radiation for each laser class in accordance with the wavelength.
The classification scheme is based on the ability of the laser emission or the reflected laser
emission to cause injury to the eye or skin during normal operating conditions.

Laser safety instructions
During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is
considered unenclosed.
Observe the following laser safety instructions to avoid exposing yourself and others to risk:
• Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance, and
restoration. All unauthorized personnel shall be excluded from the immediate area of
the optical fiber telecommunication systems during installation and service.
Please also refer to the section
• Read the relevant descriptions in the manuals before taking equipment into operation
or carrying out any installation and maintenance work on the optical port units, and
follow the instructions. Ignoring the instructions may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure.
• Do not view directly into the laser beam with optical instruments such as a fiber
microscope, because viewing of laser emission in excess of Class 1 limits
significantly increases the risk of eye damage.
• Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or into an open connector as long as the
optical source is still switched on.
• Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
connectors.
