Laser/LED Safety

An optical single-mode transmitter uses a small laser to transmit the light signal to the network ring.
Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected to it. Although multi-mode
transceivers typically use LEDs for transmission, it is good practice to keep open ports covered and to
avoid staring into open ports or apertures. The transceivers aperture port contains a laser warning label,
as shown in
optical carrier signal.
SPAs must be installed in pairs. The Cisco SCE 8000 supports the following SPA configurations:
Two SPAs inserted in subslots 0 and 1
–
Four SPAs
–
If only two SPAs are installed, sublots 2 and 3 must be covered by blank filler panels.
