The only problem with those funny signs is they scare remote hands techs into never looking at a fiber because they don't want to try and understand the difference between a SX GBIC and a class 3 ultra longhaul amp.
Save your poor techs eyes, and make them more reliable all at the same time:
This conversation has gone places I didn't expect. Leo, that card is pretty cool, but for a few hundred $$ more, you can get a light meter (if someone is smart enough to use the card...) Does anyone *use* any eye protection (other that not looking at the light, turning off the light etc) -- I mean like protective goggles, etc, when doing simple things like adding/removing patch cables from an SMF patch panel. I get that if you *know* the gear you are using has a Class 3 laser on it, you should be careful... but when you are patching it into a building's cable plant and some schmuck is patching the last leg in for you (or has pulled it accidentally, etc).. um, "don't look at it" is our community's BCP?
