Optic Cabling
Ribbon fiber cabling from the fiber optic patch panel or ODF should match the fiber
position number or color code stated for the fiber optic cards for the most effective fiber
management. Refer to Section 2—

OPTIC WARNING!
The Traverse system is a class 1 product that
contains a class IIIb laser and is intended for operation in a closed
environment with fiber attached. Do not look into the optical
connector of the transmitter with power applied. Laser output is
invisible, and eye damage can result. Do not defeat safety features that
prevent looking into the optical connector.
OPTIC WARNING!
The optical connector system used on the Traverse
fiber optic backplane is designed with a mechanical shutter
mechanism that blocks physical and visual access to the optical
connector. Do not defeat this safety feature designed to prevent eye
damage.
OPTIC WARNING!
Follow all warning labels when working with
optical fibers. Always wear eye protection when working with optical
fibers. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or
unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
