Safety and equipment care information

This section contains important safety and regulatory information. Read this section before you install Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, 10 Gigabit SFP (XFP) transceivers, or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC).

Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines

Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines:
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To learn how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see "Electrostatic discharge
prevention" (page 11).
11
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs use optical connectors whose performance can be reduced by dust contamination. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over the GBIC, SFP, or XFP optical bore.
Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.

Electrostatic discharge prevention

To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.

12 Safety and equipment care information
Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and use only a static-shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling.
Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam because these materials carry static electricity that damages the equipment.
Care of fiber optic equipment
Fiber optic equipment must be kept clean and damage-free. Use the information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber optic equipment.

Fiber optic cable care

Although the glass fiber of fiber optic cable is protected with reinforcing material and plastic insulation, it is subject to damage. Use the following precautions to avoid damaging the glass fiber.
Do not kink, knot, or vigorously flex the cable.
Do not bend the cable to less than a 40 mm radius.
Do not stand on fiber optic cable; keep the cable off the floor.
Do not pull fiber optic cable anyharder than you would a cable containing copper wire of comparable size.
Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on any section
of the cable.
Place protective caps on fiber optic connectors that are not in use.
Store unused fiber optic patch cables in a cabinet, on a cable rack, or flat on a shelf.
Frequent overstressing of fiber optic cable causes progressive degeneration that leads to failure.
If you suspect damage to a fiber optic cable, either due to mishandling or an abnormally high error rate observed in one direction, reverse the cable pairs. If the high error rate appears in the other direction, replace the cable.

CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Do not crush fiber optic cable. If fiber optic cable is in the same tray or duct with large, heavy electrical cables, it can be damaged by the weight of the electrical cable.

Fiber optic connector care

Before connecting them to transmission equipment, test equipment, patch panels, or other connectors, ensure fiber optic connectors are clean. The performance of an optical fiber connector depends on how clean the connector and coupling are at the time of connection.
A damaged or dirty connector can damage a connector with which it is mated. A connector must be absolutely clean before it is inserted into a transmitter or receiver.
Never clean an optical connector that is carrying light. Optical power can cause ignition of the cleaning material when it contacts the end of the optical connector, destroying the connector. Typical cleaning materials, for example, tissues saturated with alcohol, combust almost instantaneously when exposed to optical power levels of +15 dBm or higher.
Care of fiber optic equipment 13
Visually inspect the connector to determine cleanliness and to determine if it needs replacing. Any connector that has a scratch across the core, or a scratch that appears to end in the core, must be replaced.
The proper connector cleaning method depends on the connector contaminants:
Cleanliness is best judged by visual inspection with a fiber microscope.
First inspect the connector, then clean as required.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury
When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are off. The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage your eyes.
If you suspect only the possibility of dust particles (for example, which can occur when a connector is left uncapped in a clean environment), use high-quality canned air or a reel cleaner (for example, a Cletop) to clean the connector. A reel cleaner is a good choice for making sure that no dust contaminates the connector.
If the connector is visibly dirty or suspected to be contaminated by chemicals (for example, matching gel), use high-quality alcohol and

14 Safety and equipment care information
canned air to clean the connector (see the following procedure). This is the most thorough cleaning method. In some cases, a reel cleaner may suffice.
Always keep in mind that the more surface manipulation applied to the connector, the more likely the connector to become damaged.
When you insert a connector ferrule into a connector or adapter, ensure that the ferrule tip does not touch the outside of the mating connector or adapter. This can produce scratches and dirt deposits on the connector.
To help prevent them from collecting dust, ensure connectors are covered when not in use. To avoid the transfer of oil or other contaminants from your fingers to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors with care. Do not touch the connector end face.

Cleaning single connectors

Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the connector.
This procedure is appropriate when more than dust contamination is suspected.
Prerequisites
lens-grade, lint-free tissue (for example, Kimwipes)
optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (98% or more pure)
high-quality canned compressed air with extension tube Compressed air must be free of dust, water and oil, or filmy deposits or scratches on the surface of the connector can result.

WARNING
Risk of eye injury
When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are off. The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage your eyes.
To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when working with the canned air duster.
To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl alcohol.

Step Action
Care of fiber optic equipment 15
1
Remove dust or debris by applying canned air to the cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector.
2
Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a tissue dampened with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol.
3
Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a dry tissue.
ATTENTION
Do not let the IPA evaporate; wipe it dry immediately. Alcohols can leave a residue that is difficult to remove.
4 5
Dry the connector surfaces by applying canned air. Inspect the connector to ensure it is clean and undamaged.
To prevent contamination, do not touch the connector surfaces after cleaning; and cover connectors with dust caps if you are not going to use them right away.

cleaning swabs (also called cleaning sticks or wands)
high-quality canned compressed air with extension tube Compressed air must be free of dust, water and oil, or filmy deposits or scratches on the surface of the connector can result.
Care of fiber optic equipment 17
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
To avoid contamination, optical ports should only be cleaned when there is evidence of contamination or reduced performance, or during their initial installation.
To prevent oil contamination, use only high-quality canned compressed air.
Do not allow the air extension tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.
Procedure steps
Step Action 1

3
Remove dust or debris by blowing canned air into the optical port of the device using the canned air extension tube.
Clean the optical port by inserting a wand moistened with alcohol into the receptacle and rotating it.
Each cleaning wand should only be used to clean one optical port. Dry the optical port by inserting a dry wand into the receptacle and
rotating it.
Do not let the IPA evaporate; wipe it dry immediately. Alcohols can leave a residue that is difficult to remove.
