CAUTION: Laser radiation, do not stare into beam!
Do not disassemble opticalCON couplers, if not required. Sealing shutter mechanism of the opticalCON
avoids contamination of the ferrule locked inside. Dust-proof design reduces maintenance intervals to a
minimum; if nevertheless necessary, follow the maintenance procedure below to avoid damages on
ferrules due to improper cleaning.
