When a connector is removed during installation, testing, or servicing, or when an energized fiber is broken, a risk of ocular exposure to optical energy that may be potentially hazardous occurs, depending on the laser output power. The primary hazards of exposure to laser radiation from an optical-fiber system are:

  • Damage to the eye by accidental exposure to a beam emitted by a laser source
  • Damage to the eye from viewing a connector attached to a broken fiber or an energized fiber
WARNING Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view the beam directly with optical instruments. Do not point the beam at other people. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
WARNING Never attempt to check the functionality by viewing optical connectors that might be emitting laser energy. Do not power up the laser product without connecting the laser to the optical fiber and putting the cover in position, as laser outputs will emit infrared laser light at this point.
