CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
Laser Radiation and Connectors
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within
the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber
(under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10
-6
watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser
radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum
radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is
0.8 W cm
-2
or 8 x 10
3
W m
2
sr-1.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use
of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard.
When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed
from the network adapter.
