Safety Information
Class 1 Laser Transceivers
The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers.
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

Whentheconnectorisinplace,alllaserradiationremainswithinthefiber.Themaximumamountofradiantpowerexitingthe
