Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. 
Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with 
certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a
