• Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic cables or fiber- optic transmission components
with unprotected eyes!
• Never allow fiber-optic transmission paths to operate until all the conn ections have been made.
• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports on the switch or the netwo rk adapter.
