CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
Laser Radiation and Connectors
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the
fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under
normal conditions) is -12.6dBm or 55x10
-6
watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser
radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum
radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W

WARNING
: Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output.
The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye
hazard. When viewing the output optical port, you must remove power
from the network adapter.
