Hi Mark, 

Absolutely. The thing is to do with this type of 
declaration to the FDA, which I've done, you have 
to state that any connection or disconnection of fiber 
cables shall be done only when the equipment is 
powered off AND that prior to power up for any 
service maintainance and/or normal use that ALL 
fiber connections to the laser transceivers be made. 

In other words, during normal use, service or maintainance, 
the intent of the product is to have ALL lasing be in 
the fiber - i.e. all laser transceiver ports are populated 
with fiber.  All this has to be clearly stated to the 
end user in the documentation. 

Regards, Doug McKean
