INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This
control loo p el imina tes the need for main tenanc e check s or adj ustmen ts. The outp ut is fac tor y 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 Publica tio n 825 (Intern a tional Electrotech nical Co mmi ss ion).
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electro technical Standard ization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1
accessible emission limit of all three standar ds. 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 radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of
radiant power exiting the fibe r (under norm al 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
0.8 W cm
Do not use optical instruments to vie w th e laser output. The use of opt ical inst ruments to view
laser output increases eye hazard. When vi ew ing the output optical port, power must be
removed from the network adapter.

ATTENTION Ne touchez pas les extrémités des fibres
optiques et évitez qu'elles viennent en contact
avec des éléments poussiéreux, sales ou tout
autre contami nant. La conta mination de ces
extrémit és cause des problèmes lors de la
transmissi on des données. Si ces extrémit és
sont contamin ées, nettoyez leur surface à
l'aide d'un nettoyant adéquat. Vous pouvez
également utiliser une épo nge imbibée
d'isopropanol pour les nettoyer.
PRECAUCIÓN No toque los extremos de las bandas de fibra
óptica y, no permit a que los c ont actos e stén en
contacto con pol vo, suciedad u otros
contaminantes. La contaminación de los
extremos causa pr oblemas en la transmisión
de datos. Si los extr emos se contaminan,
limpie las superficies con un limpiador
adecuado. Para limpiar el puerto, también se
puede utiliz ar una esp onj a satura da de a lcohol
isopropíli co de grado óptico para limpiar los
extremos.
CAUTION An odd number of crossovers (preferably one)
must be maintai ned between devices so that
the trans mit port of one device is connected to
the receive port of the other device and vice
versa.
If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style
connectors that do not resemble MIC style
connectors , or has SC connector s on one end
and a different type on the other, such as ST
connectors, ensure that the proper crossing
over occurs.
Safety Requirements
ACHTUNG Eine ungerade Zahl von Überkreuzungsstellen
(vorzugsweise eine) muß zwischen den
Geräten beibehalten werden, damit der
Übertragungsanschluß eines Gerätes mit dem
Empfangsanschluß des anderen Gerätes
verbunden werden kann (und umgekehrt).
Wenn das verwendete Glasfaserkabel
SC-Anschlußstecker hat, die nicht
MIC-Anschlußsteckern ähnlich sind, oder
wenn es an einem Ende SC-Anschlußstecker
hat und am anderen Ende einen anderen
Steckertyp (z.B. einen ST-Stecker),
vergewissern Sie sich, daß die richtig
Überkreuzung stattfindet.
ATTENTION Un nombre impair de diagonales (de
préférence une) doit être conservé entre les
périphériques de sorte que le port de
transmission d'un périphérique soit connecté
au port de réception de l'autre périphérique et
inversement.
Si le cable de fibre optique utilisé est doté de
connecteurs de type SC qui ne ressemblent
pas aux connecteurs de type MIC ou a des
connecteurs de type SC à une extrémité et un
type de connecteur différent à l'autre extrémité
(comme par exemple des connecteurs de type
ST), assurez-vous que le croisement en
diagonale se fait correctement.
PRECAUCIÓN Un número impar de diagonales (de
preferencia uno) se debe mantener entre los
dispositivos para que el puerto de transmisión
de un dispositivo esté conectado al puerto de
recepción del otro dispositivo y viceversa.
Si el cable de fibra óptica que se está
utilizando tiene conectores de tipo SC que no
se parezcan a conectores de estilo MIC, o
tenga conectores SC en un extremo y un tipo
diferente en el otro, como conectores ST,
asegúrese de que se realice el cruce
adecuado.
