General Laser Safety Guidelines
When working around PIMs, observe the following safety guidelines to prevent eye
injury:
■ Do not look into unterminated ports or at fibers that connect to unknown sources.
■ Do not examine unterminated optical ports with optical instruments.
■ Avoid direct exposure to the beam.
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.
