The optical emissions from the units are laser-based and may present eye hazards if improperly used. NEVER USE ANY
KIND OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENT TO VIEW THE OPTICAL OUTPUT OF THE UNIT. Be careful when work-
ing with optical fibers. Fibers can cause painful injury if they penetrate the skin.
Laser Safety Procedure
ALWAYS
read the product data sheet and the laser safety label before powering the product. Note the operation wave-
length, optical output power and safety classifi cat i ons.
If safety goggles or other eye protection are used, be certain that the protection is effective at the wavelength emitted by
the device under test BEFORE
ALWAYS
connect a fiber to the output of the device BEFORE power is applied. Power should never be applied without
applying power.
an attached fiber. If the device has a connector output, a connector should be attached that is connected to a fiber. This
will ensure that all light is confined within the fiber waveguide, virtually eliminating all potential hazard.
NEVER
look at the end of the fiber to see if light is coming out. NEVER! Most fiber optic laser wavelengths (1310nm
and1550nm) are totally invisible to the unaided eye and will cause permanent damage. Shorter wavelengths lasers (e.g.,
780nm) are visible and are very damaging. Always use instruments, such as an optical power meter, to verify light output.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
includes microscopes, eye loupes and magnifying glasses. This WILL
look into the end of a fiber on a powered device with ANY sort of magnifying device. This
cause a permanent and irreversible burn on your
retina. Always double check that power is disconnected before using such devices. If possible, completely disconnect the
unit from any power source.
If you have questions about laser safety procedures, please call Olson Technology before powering your product.

INTRODUCTION
The OLSON TECHNOLOGY, INC. Model OTEN-MC-01 EtherNodePlus Media Converter, 10/100/1000Mb/s allows
network operators to convert signals between an electrical Ethernet 10/100/1000Mb/s UTP interface and an optical interface. The traditional 10/100/1000Mb/s gigabit Ethernet can be extended to the distance of 80+km through a fiber optic
link.
The OTEN-MC-01 incorporates the latest gigabit IC technology. Indicator LED’s on the front panel allow the unit’s
status to be fully monitored, simplifying installation and maintaining network performance.
