General Guidelines
When removing or (un)installing fiber-optic cables/EDFAMUX, please note the following
warnings:
•Warning – Class 1 Laser Product. Do not look directly into an EDFAMUX or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. EDFAMUX and fiber-optic cables that are connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
•Only trained and qualified personnel should be permitted to install, replace, and/or
service the EDFAMUX.
•Do not leave an EDFAMUX uncovered except when inserting or removing a cable. The
safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
•Use the EDFAMUX only for the purpose it was designed for.
•To avoid overheating the EDFAMUX, please use the appropriate and qualified rack space
and only use the EDFAMUX in spaces designed to store/use regular network equipment
(no harsh or extreme environments).
•To minimize shock hazard, the EDFAMUX must be connected to a properly grounded
receptacle. Not properly grounding the EDFAMUX is considered dangerous and may
lead to damage.
•Do not use the EDFAMUX in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
•Do not allow unqualified persons to remove covers.
•Do not allow unqualified persons to replace components.
•Do not allow unqualified persons to make any internal adjustments.
•Always disconnect power, discharge circuits, and remove external voltage sources
before touching any components.
•Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts
or perform any unauthorized modification to the EDFAMUX. In the case of malfunction
and/or maintenance, please follow the guidelines of this manual.

Regarding Fiber-Optic Cables
The AddOn Networks EDFAMUX is designed to include fiber-optic components/products,
including optical connectors to connect optical cables. Unlike electrical wires, the insides of
optical cables contain a fiber made of glass. Due to the different properties of optical fiber
when compared to the copper used in electrical wires, some additional precautions must be
taken as detailed below:
•Avoid bending fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc smaller
than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems which are
difficult to diagnose.
•Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector.
•Do not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle. If the loops dangle, the cables can
become stressed at the fastened point.
•Secure cables in the cable management system so that they are not supporting their
own weight.
•Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop, using the cable management
system. Placing fasteners on a loop helps to maintain its shape.
Regarding the Laser
The AddOn Networks EDFAMUX includes a Class 1 Laser which is generally harmless; however,
extra precaution is still advised. These precautions are noted below:
•Take care when connecting or disconnecting optical fiber cabling or optical transceivers.
•Follow the instructions provided in the manuals of those products.
•Do not open the casing of the EDFAMUX, especially when in operation.
•Never look directly into the end of the fiber or in any opening of the EDFAMUX.
•Never use a microscope, magnifying glass, or any kind of eye loop to observe a fiber end
or in any opening of the EDFAMUX.
•Always wear appropriate safety eyewear when working with the EDFAMUX.
End-of-Life Disposal
Please follow all local and national laws and regulations when disposing of the AddOn Networks
EDFAMUX after deinstallation.
