Disclaimer: I recommend you don't look at lasers as a standard practice.
For more context, an SFP+ 10G LR 10km module is Class 1 (completely harmless during normal use).
Same with a 100G LR4 type module.
The ZR type modules that run 100+km are also Class 1.
Pretty much any optical module you plug into a router or a switch is Class 1.
Where you should definitely be cautious is:
- Around optical amplifiers, where things can get into Class 2 and 3.
- DWDM setups where each module may be a Class 1, but the sum of their light adds up into something harmful.
- gorlilla 3y agoThey are class-1 only because the system is designed to not have any light visible during normal operation. Interlocks can be the only difference between a class-1 and a class-4 laser.
