Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules.
TheClass1lasertransceiversuseanopticalfeedbacklooptomaintainClass1operationlimits.Thiscontrolloopeliminatesthe

Removingtheopticalconnectorfromthetransceiverallowslaserradiationtoemitdirectlyfromtheopticalport.Themaximum
