1.4 Laser safety
General good working practices adapted from EN60825-2: 1994
“Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved optical device at the fibre ends or
connector faces or point them at other people.”
“Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids.”
“Any single or multiple fibre end or ends found not to be terminated (for example, matched,
spliced) shall be individually or collectively covered when not being worked on. They shall
not be readily visible and sharp ends shall not be exposed.”
“When using test cords, the optical power source shall be the last connected and the first
disconnected.”
“Use only approved methods for cleaning and preparing optical fibres and optical
connectors.”
Always keep optical connectors covered to avoid physical damage
Do not allow any dirt/foreign material ingress on the optical connector bulkheads.
The optical fibre jumper cable maximum bend radius is 3cm, any smaller radii may result in
optical cable breakage or excessive transmission losses.
Caution: Do not get them wet, the FO units are NOT weather proof.
