Important Information
Warning: Never look into the end of a fiber optic cable to confirm that light is being emitted (or for any other reason).
Do not use any type of magnifying device, such as a microscope, eye loupe, or magnifying glass. Such activity causes cause a permanent burn on the retina of the eye. Optical signal cannot be determined by looking into the fiber end.
Most fiber optic laser wavelengths (1300 nm and 1550 nm) are invisible to the eye and cause permanent eye damage. Shorter wavelength lasers (for example, 780 nm) are visible and can cause significant eye damage.
Use only an optical power meter to verify light output.
