Table 3-2 lists the CTC software compatibility for the OSC and OSCM cards.
3.2 Class 1 Laser Safety Labels
This section explains the significance of the safety labels attached to the OSCM and OSC-CSM cards.
The faceplates of the cards are clearly labeled with warnings about the laser radiation levels. You must
understand all warning labels before working on these cards.
3.2.1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
The Class 1 Laser Product label is shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
Class 1 lasers are products whose irradiance does not exceed the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
value. Therefore, for Class 1 laser products the output power is below the level at which it is believed
eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 laser will not result in eye injury and may
therefore be considered safe. However, some Class 1 laser products may contain laser systems of a higher
