  • Page 8 SAFETY INFORMATION CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules. 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. When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant  ‐6 power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is ‐12.6 dBm or 55 x 10  watts.

Each fiber-optic link consists of two fiber-optic strands within the cable: Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX). The transmit strand from a DFE module port connects to the receive port of a fiber-optic 100BASE-FX Ethernet device at the other end of the segment.

    The DFE modules installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N3, or Matrix N7 chassis are interdependent and operate under a single IP address as a single, distributed switch system (hardware, databases, and persistent storage). In this operating environment, the DFE module must shut down in an orderly fashion to ensure that the other modules in the system and other devices on the network are notified of the impending change.
