NOTICE
FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment uses,
generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed in accordance with the operator’s manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
WARNING:
Changes or modifications made to this device which
are not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.

SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
The F3079 and F7079 are Class 1 Laser Products
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
The F3079 and F7079 adapters 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 loop eliminates the
need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory
set, and 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 Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical
Commission).
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser
transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all
three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered
hazardous.

Laser Radiation and Connectors
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within
the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber
-6
(under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser
radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum
radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is
-2
0.8 W cm
or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.
watts.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use
of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard.
When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed
from the network adapter.
