Table 4-2 lists the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software compatibility for each optical amplifier
card.
4.2 Class 1M Laser Safety Labels
This section explains the significance of the safety labels attached to the optical amplifier 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.
4.2.1 Class 1M Laser Product Label
Figure 4-1 shows the Class 1M Laser Product label. Class 1M lasers are products that produce either a
highly divergent beam or a large diameter beam. Therefore, only a small part of the whole laser beam
can enter the eye. However, these laser products can be harmful to the eye if the beam is viewed using
magnifying optical instruments.
OPT-AMP-17-C
The OPT-AMP-17-C C-band low-gain
preamplifier/booster amplifier has four sets
of optical ports located on the faceplate. It
operates in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
See the “4.8 OPT-AMP-17-C
Card” section on page 4-26.
OPT-AMP-C
The OPT-AMP-C C-band high-gain,
high-power preamplifier/booster amplifier
has five sets of optical ports located on the
faceplate. It operates as a preamplifier when
equipped and provisioned in Slots 2 to 6 and
11 to 16 or as a booster amplifier when
equipped and provisioned in Slot 1 and 17.
See the “4.9 OPT-AMP-C Card”
section on page 4-30.
