Laser safety
System design
The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (1665 DMX) product line complies with
FDA/CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 as a Class IIIb laser product and with IEC
60825-1:2001 as a Class 1M Optical Fiber Telecommunication laser product.
The system has been designed to ensure that the operating personnel is not endangered by
laser radiation during normal system operation. The safety measures specified in the Food
and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH)
regulations and the international standards IEC-60825 or DIN/EN 60825 are met. Please
also refer to
Laser product classification (p. A-9) .
Potential sources of danger
Beware of the following potential sources of danger which will remain despite all safety
measures taken:
•
Laser radiation can cause damage to the skin and eyes.
•
Laser radiation from optical transmission systems is in a wavelength range that is
invisible to the human eye.
CAUTION
Laser Safety
When connecting fiber loops between the IN and OUT ports on optical circuit
packs, always connect to the IN port first and then the OUT port. This will
prevent any optical radiation from being present at the fiber end.
