Optical Output Power of the System
Up to 128 channels feed into one fiber via passive optical filter modules (depending on the
configuration). Each traffic module feeds up to 4 mW into the passive optical modules.
The passive optical modules add a defined attenuation to the transmission line, which
reduces the optical output power transmitted to the network fiber cable. The maximum
output power of all possible system configurations depends on the current product
release. For more information, contact ADVA Optical Networking.
Optical Port Connection Conditions
l Used Ports — The optical ports in use must be connected to a fiber-optic cable to
fulfill the specified purpose of the respective FSP 3000 C traffic module. The other end
of this fiber-optic cable must be connected to the designated opposite port.
l Unused Ports — The optical ports not currently in use must be closed by a dust
cover, which is delivered with the FSP 3000 C. The dust plug should be left in the
optical connectors of the pluggable transceiver when not in use. The dust plugs are
designed to withstand the specified optical output power.
Eye Safety Guidelines
All lasers used with the FSP 3000 C system operate below the energy level that causes
skin burns, but they pose a real danger to the eyes. This danger is highest at optical
output ports, where energy is coming directly from the laser source. Invisible laser
radiation can be harmful to the human eye and injury may occur under prolonged
exposure.
Eye safety for service personnel is guaranteed for both the network and client output
ports. Nevertheless, strict attention to the following guidelines and cautions is important
for your protection when working with optical equipment
LASERRADIATIONWARNING
Unterminated optical connectors can emit invisible laser radiation. The
lens in the human eye focuses all the laser power on the retina, so
focusing the eye directly on a laser source — even a low-power laser —
could permanently damage the eye.
