FCC, Safety and Service
Information
FCC Licensing
FiberLeap operates as an unlicensed device under FCC Rules, Part 15, Low Power
Communication Device Transmitter.
FCC Part 15 Rules Compliance
This Device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
The FiberLeap Access unit has no user accessible controls and may not be
modified or altered in any way. Changes or modifications to the equipment could
void the user’s warranty.
FCC RF Exposure Compliance
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket
93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Telaxis subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products.
Proper operation of this equipment will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission
limits.
FCC ID# P57-AU2006
Safety Notice
This unit has been tested for RF emission levels and found not to exceed the FCC
RF exposure requirements for occupational and general public exposure. Even
though the RF levels external to the unit are not hazardous to humans, Telaxis
believes it is prudent to minimize all exposure to RF emissions and therefore
recommends the installation be such that the RF beam emitted by the antenna
be positioned over the heads of any personnel working in the vicinity.
WARNING DO NOT position FiberLeap Access Unit LOS (Line of Site) in
such a manner that the antenna beam is directed towards areas
where maintenance personnel might be working while the unit
is operating.
Service Precautions
Failure to follow these installation instructions could damage the equipment
and/or improper operation may result.
• FiberLeap is designed and sold for installation and maintenance by trained,
qualified professionals.
• For service, the unit must be returned to Telaxis CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
CENTER.

The FiberLeap™ product is designed to extend the reach of fiber optic networks
through wireless connections where installation barriers and high cost make
installing additional fiber connections less desirable. Telaxis has developed this
product to enable direct fiber optic connection and transmission of fiber optic
signals over a wireless link without the use of conventional modems. These fiber
extension links function, and can be managed and serviced, as if they were a
length of fiber optic cable.

Description
About this
Manual
A FiberLeap fiber extension link consists of:
• FiberLeap Access units (2) with Mast Mounting Assembly Kit
• FiberLeap Interface Panels (2)
• FiberLeap System Cables (2)
The two Access Units are mounted within direct visual LOS (Line-of-Site) of each
other. Each of the two Access Units is connected to an Interface Panel (located
indoors), by means of a System Cable. The Interface Panels connect to the fiber
optic network (see Figure 1).
This Installation and Operation Manual provides instructions on how to install
the Access Unit on one end of the Link, which is then repeated for the second
end of the link. This installation procedure assumes that the necessary
rooftop mast for mounting the Access Unit, the System Cable and the
FiberLeap Interface Panel have already been installed.

Before initiating the actual installation of the Access Unit, certain other activties
should already have been accomplished. These include:
1. A Site Enginering Study – This study would have been initiated by a site survey
to determine all the physical and environmental constraints of the installation.
The engineering study ensures that the performance of the data link can be
met and specifies the details of the installation, i.e. the location of the Interface Panel, the mount/mast for the Access Unit and its location, identification
of the power source, length of the System Cable, length of the wireless link,
far end Access Unit location, etc.
2. Installation of the Rooftop Mast for the Access Unit – A suitable mast, 2.5
to 4.0” O.D., of sufficient height to meet the Access Unit mounting height
requirement specified in the engineering study must have been installed. This
mast must be braced or ballasted to survive high winds and grounded to the
rooftop lightning protection system in accordance with NEC or local regulations.
3. Installation of the System Cable – This installation must have been completed
in conformance with building requirements and governing codes by trained
and licensed installers.
