4.7.2.1. Important Notes on using Optical Modules
Optical modules provide a signal ('sense_l') indicating that they are present; however the
presence of optical modules cannot be distinguished from a copper connection by relying on
this signal alone.
Whilst the optical module supplies are disabled by default and protected by current limiting,
the method shown in the example code should always be used to ensure that supplies do not
drive into the short circuit presented when a copper cable is fitted.
Caution
This equipment uses Class 1 Laser devices; such devices are not considered to be
hazardous when used for their intended purpose. Use of controls, adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
laser light exposure.
