Safety and Handling#
WARNING – Laser Safety Instructions 
To avoid injuries, always follow these safety instructions:
Optical fiber connections emit laser radiation in the infrared range. Laser radiation is invisible and can cause eye damage if the eyes are exposed to it directly. Never look into open fiber ends or active optical ports. Before any installation, maintenance, or cleaning, disconnect the connection or shut it down safely. Dispose of fiber remnants with care.
Info
The MPO connector has a limited number of plugging cycles. A typical value is 50 cycles. If that value is exceeded, the cable must be replaced.
Fiber optic connectors follow different standards compared to typical industrial electrical connectors. One critical point is that proper cleaning before each mating is required. If dust or contamination is present on the fiber end face, the connector can be easily damaged, which may significantly affect performance and lifetime.
Info
If you are not using a cable where the fiber optic cable is permanently attached to the transceiver modules, do the following:
- Clean the fiber optic port of the QSFP28 modules with an appropriate tool.
- Clean the fiber optic cable with an appropriate tool.
Further Information#
Read the topic about your camera model before connecting the cable to the camera. You can find your camera topic in the Area and Line Scan Cameras section under "Models".
The camera installation is explained in the Hardware Installation (CoaXPress Cameras) topic.
Installation instructions for setting up a CoaXPress-over-Fiber system using a racer 2 XL line scan camera, and an imaFlex 2 Dual 100 frame grabber is explained in the Configuring a CoaXPress-over-Fiber System topic.
