Caution
Cleaved glass fibers are sharp and can pierce the skin. Use
tweezers when handling shards and dispose of them properly per
your company health and safety instructions .
Fiber/Cable Handling
c
Caution
Optical fiber can be damaged by excessive tensile, compressive
and bending forces. Consult the manufactures' specifications for
proper handling instructions .
Laser Safety
c
Caution
Take the proper precautions when working with optical fiber
because invisible laser light may be present . The principal laser
hazard when working with fiber optics is injury to the eye. Never
look directly into the fiber or connector using the naked eye or a
microscope .
