    FRX-VF front edge 5.2 Basic fault finding guide WARNING: Although Crystal Vision optical products contain Class 1 devices that have been designed to be safe under all circumstances, you are advised not to look directly into any vacant optical outlet. As the visible spectrum is well below the wavelengths used by the FRX- VF there is no point looking into the end of a cable to see if there is a signal.
  • Page 13 Note: Users of FTX-VF should be aware that the maximum output power of the SFP laser module is 0dBm, and +5dBm for the CWDM module. These levels may necessitate additional attenuation when used in conjunction with the FRX-VF. Poor video signal at receiving end: Check that the received optical power input is ‘GOOD’.
