The system has been designed to ensure that the operating personnel is not endangered by laser radiation during normal system operation.
Page 253
Laser Safety Laser Safety and Classifications Laser warning labels The laser warning labels indicate either only the laser class or both the laser class and the maximum output power of laser radiation. The following figure shows different types of laser warning labels and their characteristics.
Page 254
Laser Safety Laser Safety and Classifications Laser safety instructions Observe the following instructions to avoid exposing yourself and others to risk. • Read the relevant descriptions in the manuals before taking equipment into operation or carrying out any installation and maintenance work on the optical port units, and follow the instructions.
Laser Product Classification Laser Safety and Classifications Laser Product Classification .................................................... The product complies with both IEC standards and the Food and Drug Standards compliance Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/ CDRH) regulations.

Cleaning/Inspecting Optical Connectors Fiber Cleaning Figure B-1 Cleaning the Ferrule Endface ................................... If a CLETOP cassette cleaner is not available, proceed with Step 7. Step 3 Otherwise, hold the CLETOP cassette cleaner in the palm of your hand with the cassette shutter door facing up. See Figure B-2, CLETOP Cleaner (page -7) Rotate the cassette lever all the way down with your thumb.
Cleaning/Inspecting Optical Connectors Fiber Cleaning Figure B-2 CLETOP Cleaner ................................... Insert and press the connector ferrule endface perpendicular against the Step 4 cleaning cloth in the first of two slots of the cleaner. See Figure B-3, Acceptability Criteria for Fiber Cleaning (page -10) Drag it down (in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cleaner).

Cleaning/Inspecting Optical Connectors Fiber Cleaning cleaning cloth is washable and can be used multiple times, optic wipes are single use and disposable.................................... Step 8 Inspect the connector for cleanliness. If necessary, repeat the cleaning process. See Connector Inspection (page -9) End of Steps ...................................
Cleaning/Inspecting Optical Connectors Fiber Cleaning Connector Inspection After cleaning the connector, inspect the ferrule endface to ensure that it is free from any particulate contamination using an optical fiber inspection scope of at least 200X magnification. When using an optical fiber scope (for example, the Noyes OFS 300-200X) exercise extreme caution to assure fiber being examined is de-energized.
Page 268
Cleaning/Inspecting Optical Connectors Fiber Cleaning Figure B-3 Acceptability Criteria for Fiber Cleaning ................................... After the connector has been verified to be cleaned, it should be Step 3 immediately inserted into the adapter buildout of the optical component. This will assure maximum cleanliness and effectiveness of the connector.

Installing Fiber Connectors and LBOs Overview .................................................... This appendix provides procedures for installing and removing Line Purpose Build Out units (LBOs) and fiber connectors onto input and output ® ports found on the Metropolis DMXplore optical circuit packs.................................... Contents This chapter provides information on the following topics: LBOs Fiber Connections...
LBOs Installing Fiber Connectors and LBOs LBOs .................................................... LBOs are fixed-value optical attenuators that mate into mounting General blocks and provide a specific connector interface (LC, ST, FC or SC- ® type) for external fiber connections. The Metropolis DMXplore optical circuit packs are equipped with LC-type connector ports designed for use with LC-type LBOs and fiber connectors.
LBOs Installing Fiber Connectors and LBOs ® LC-type LBO Metropolis DMXplore utilizes Lucent’s state-of-the-art AllWave ADVANTAGE™ Fiber Optic Attenuators. These attenuators reduce optical power from the transmitter that can result in over-saturation of the receiver, have low reflection to meet stringent system requirements, and are backward-compatible with existing transmission systems.
LBOs Installing Fiber Connectors and LBOs Removal of LC-type LBO The LC-type LBOs are removed from the LC-type connector port by from LC Block depressing the tab to release the LBO and then pulling straight out. Figure C-4 Removing LC-type LBO from LC-type Connector Port DEPRESS TAB TO RELEASE LBO ...................................
Fiber Connections Installing Fiber Connectors and LBOs Fiber Connections .................................................... ® Metropolis DMXplore uses AllWave ADVANTAGE Lightguide General Jumpers, part of Lucent’s AllWave ADVANTAGE Optical Connectiv- ity Solution (OCS). These jumpers contain a boot angled at 40 degrees, allowing the jumpers to dress appropriately into the fiber tray. The angled boot eliminates projection outside the front of the shelf assem- bly.
