This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and
dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the
attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.

Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O board. Typically, singlemode
fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.
N Unlike the FOX 500 transmitters and receivers , which output an optical stream
on one connector in a block and receive a return optical stream on the second
connector in the same block, the Fiber Matrix 6400 uses one connector on the block as
an input and the second connector on the same block as a separate output.
