Handling Fiber Cables
5.1.1
Overview
This section lists the precautionary measures that must be followed when
handling optical fibers and optical components.
DANGER:
Never look into the end of a fiber optic cable, fiber cord, fiber pigtail, or fiber. If laser
light is present, you can suffer
permanent eye damage or blindness. Even brief
exposure causes damage
very quickly.
DANGER:
Never handle exposed fiber with bare hands or touch it to your body. A fiber fragment
could enter the skin and be very difficult to detect and remove.
Figure 5-1 shows the label that is attached to laser-emitting devices as a
reminder.
