10bFX is fine, that's just a little red laser diode, all visible, eyes
know what to do with it.  100 is invisible, and can damage your eyes,
not like instant blindness or anything, but in the non-repairable
cumulative damage sort of way.  I have no idea what wavelength FDDI is,
you can check for visible by pointing a live fiber at a piece of paper.

I really liked the visibility of 10FX because you could always tell the
RX/TX lines apart.
