Both standards call for a "Remote interlock connector". What exactly is that thing? Can it be satisfied with a key control feature that is also called out? Also we have a patch panel incorporated into the product which can accept, in the worst (almost stupid) case, a Class IIIb input. Are we responsible for meeting the beam stop requirement from the output of the connector patch panel? It seems to me that this would be no different than pulling the cable and looking into the fiber directly. All comments would be appreciated.
