Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warn i ng: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the optical connector of an operational transmitter, or into the end of an active fiber. A
clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating connector or
optical fiber to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also
helps prevent contamination of connectors and adapters. Do not assume laser power is turned
off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: To avoid the possibility of severe and potentially fatal electric shock, never install
electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
Caution: Electronic modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before
handling modules, wear an anti-static-discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic
components. Place modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing them.
When working on modules, always place them on an approved, electrically grounded, antistatic mat.
FCC Compliance Statement
ADCP-92-063 • Issue 1 • May 2005
The OptEnet Media Converter modules and chassis have been certified to comply with the
requirements for Class A computing devices per part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Warn i ng: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. It has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference to TV and radio reception in
which case the user, at their own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference.
This equipment does not exceed Class A limits for radio emission for digital apparatus, set out
in the radio interference regulation of the authorization methods of Industry Canada. Operation
in a residential area may cause unacceptable interference to TV and radio reception requiring
the owner or operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
This product conforms to all applicable standards of 21 CFR 1040.
UL/CSA Certification
The OptEnet Media Converter modules and chassis have been tested and found to comply with
the requirements of UL/CSA 60950.
NEBS Certification
The OptEnet Media Converter modules and chassis complies with the requirements of GR-63CORE, Issue 1, October 1995 and GR-1089-CORE, Issue 2, December 1997 with Revision 1,
February 1999 as specified in SR-3580, Issue 1, 1995.
The OptEnet 10/100 or 1000 Mb/s Media Converter with
Small Form-factor Pluggable (
SFP)
module is one of a family of modules that can be plugged into a OptEnet Media Converter
chassis. The module is designed to accept SFP transceivers with optical connectors. This
provides a number of optical signal choices. The module converts optical signals to electrical
signals. The module also performs the reverse function, converting electrical signals to optical
signals. A block diagram of the basic converter assembly is shown in Figure 1. Each module has
three connections fiber input, fiber output, and RJ45 Ethernet.
