SFPs and XFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), see
(page 9).
SFPs and XFPs are dust sensitive. When you store an SFP or XFP, or
when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust
cover over the optical bore.
To clean contaminants from the optical bores of an SFP or XFP, use an
alcohol swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.
Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
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.
