SAFETY

Safety Precautions

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-WC-01 EtherNodePlus Media and Wavelength Converter allows
network operators to incorporate multiple fiber types within a network. The converter provides the ability to accomplish
this by working with existing equipment, eliminating replacement costs. The units convert between single-mode,
multi-mode, and CWDM transmission wavelengths, or it can be used to boost digital signals at an intermediate point in a
fiber path. This flexibility allows operators to easily extend network range to reach more remote locations.

The OTEN-WC-01 includes two SFP ports. Operation is protocol independent, and the modules easily convert between
dissimilar fiber modes and wavelengths. The small form factor is hot swappable. The unit offers a very compact size and
multiple mounting options.

INSTALLATION

1. Attach a fiber cable from the converter to the fiber network. The fiber connections must match: transmit socket to re-

ceive socket.

2. Attach a UTP cable from the TP network device to the RJ45 port on the converter.

3. Connect the power cord to the converter and check that th e Power LED lights up. The TP Act and FX Act LEDs will

light when all the cable connections are satisfactory.
