Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
