Laser

CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with unaided eyes. Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters the eye, the retina may be damaged. Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end. Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l l l l

Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation. Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers. Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors. Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot ensure that the optical source is switched off. To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter. Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not exposed to laser radiation. Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look into the optical fiber connector or end.

l l

Read the following instructions before handling optical fibers:

Cabling Specifications for Optical Cables


l

The optical cables are routed in compliance with the engineering design and general cabling specifications. Reserve proper cable surpluses where the optical cables are curved. Do not stretch, step, or place heavy objects on the optical cables. Keep the cables away from sharp objects to avoid damage. The optical cable that is curved or pressed or the optical connector which is damaged cannot be used. Extra optical cables are coiled on the specific device such as the fiber coiler. Coil extra optical cables properly. Do not bend the cables forcibly to avoid damaging the cables. Use protection tubes to coat the bare fibers. The idle connectors of the optical cables are covered with dustproof caps. If one end of the optical cable is connected to an optical device, do not look directly at the end face of the optical connector. Otherwise, you may damage your eyes. Fill soft materials such as fireproof cottons in the optical cable inlets at the top of the cabinet to protect the optical cables. You need to check whether the optical connectors are clean before installation. If the optical connectors are dirty, clean them by using the dustfree cloth or fiber cleaner.
