Optical Connectors
The test platform displays a laser warning icon when the laser source is active to alert the user about a potentially dangerous
situation. It is recommended to:
1. Deactivate the laser before connecting or disconnecting optical cables or patchcords.
2. Never look directly into an optical patchcord or an optical interface (e.g. CFP, CFP2, CFP4, QSFP+, XFP, SFP+, SFP,
OTDR, LS, VFL) while the laser is enabled. Even though optical transceivers are typically fitted with Class 1 lasers, which
are considered eye safe, optical radiation for an extended period can cause irreparable damage to the eyes.
3. Never use a fiber microscope to check the optical connectors when the laser source is active.
Electrical Connectors
Telephone lines may carry dangerous voltages. Always connect the electrical test ports to known test interfaces which carry low
level signals.
