The following are suggested safety precautions for working with LGCell fiber ports.
For information about LGCell compliance with safety standards, see Appendix C.
WARNING: Observe the following warning about viewing fiber
ends in ports. Do not stare with unprotected eyes at the connector
ends of the fibers or the ports of the hubs. Invisible infrared radia-
tion is present at the front panel of the Main Hub and the Expansion

Do not stare directly into a fiber port.
• Test fiber cables: When you test fiber optical cables, connect the optical power
source last and disconnect it first.
• Fiber ends: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Do not use
tape.
• Broken fiber cables: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the
fibers. Report any broken fiber cables and have them replaced.
• Cleaning: Use only approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
• Modifications: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optical
system or associated equipment.
• Live work: Live work is permitted on the LGCell as it is a Class 1 hazard.
