Epilog Zing CNC laser cutters start at 30 watts I think. So a 60 watt laser on a fiber could certainly cut flesh and insulation and paper etc.

I.E.: Power and data are on the same cable, but not the same fibers, and they're not standard fibers anymore. If you had 10W each on 6 fibers, does that make it safer? ------ Original Message ------ From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 2/1/2017 1:03:21 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber Optics Transmit Data and Power Over Same Cable Imagine unplugging a fiber that has 60 watts on it. You will be cutting holes in all kinds of things. Could slice off a whole row of other fibers in a heartbeat. I would think you could cook the socket by just unplugging it. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2017 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber Optics Transmit Data and Power Over Same Cable http://electronicdesign.com/power/fiber-optics-transmit-data-and-power-over-same-cable -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
