Both OFC (Optical Fibre Control) and Non-OFC lasers are currently specified for use in Fibre Channel products. OFC optics uses a high powered laser that is controlled with a handshake to protect users from eye damage. Non-OFC optics uses a lower powered laser that is safer to the eye. The MIAs that we are selling are OFC with the built in safety precautions.
