Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter, or into the launching (output) end
of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially
dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors
and adapters.
