Fiber Safety Precautions
The CoreBuilder 9400 system uses lasers in its fiber
optic ports. To ensure your safety, comply with the
following precautions.
WARNING: The fiber optic lasers used in this system
meet the regulatory requirements for casual exposure
to the eye. As with any source of bright light,
however, 3Com recommends that you do not look
into the laser light source.
IEC 825, Class 1 Laser Devices are for connection only
to Class 1 Laser Devices. MMF and SMF fiber optic
interfaces use lasers.
