SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

THE DELHE-UA GIGABIT ETHERNET MODULES USE

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING

SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING

THESE ADAPTERS.

The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This
control loo p el imina tes th e need for main tenan ce chec ks or adj ustme nt s. The ou tput is fac tory set, an d
does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety
standards:

• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).

• IEC Public atio n 825 (Interna tio nal Electro tec h nical Co mmi ss ion).

• CENELEC EN 60825 (Europea n Committee for Electrotechn ical Standard ization).
When operat ing within their performance limit ations, laser transceiver output meets th e Clas s 1

accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered
hazardous.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS

When the connect or is in place, all laser radiatio n remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of
radiant power exiting the fiber (un der normal condi tions) is -1 2.6 dBm or 55 x 10

Removing the optical conn ector from the transceiver all ow s laser radiation to emit direct ly from the
optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is

0.8 W cm

Do not use optical instrumen t s to view the laser outp ut . The use of optic al instruments to view
laser output increases e ye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be
removed from the network adapter.
