Fiber Optic Ports and Optical Safety
equipment rack or chassis so that it is always available when you need to handle components that
are sensitive to ESD.
•
Install all cables in a manner that avoids strain. Use tie wraps or other strain relief devices.
Fiber Optic Ports and Optical Safety
The following safety warnings apply to all optical devices used in Extreme Networks equipment that are
removable or directly installed in an I/O module or chassis system.
Such devices include but are not limited to gigabit interface converters (GBICs), small form factor
pluggable (SFP) modules (or mini-GBICs), QSFP+ modules, XENPAK transceivers, and XFP laser optic
modules.
Warning
Laser optic modules become very hot after prolonged use. Take care when removing a laser
optic module from the module or option card. If the laser optic module is too hot to touch,
disengage the laser optic module and allow it to cool before removing it completely.
When working with laser optic modules, always take the precautions listed below to avoid
exposure to hazardous radiation.
•
Never look at the transmit LED/laser through a magnifying device while the transmit LED is powered
on.
•
Never look directly at a fiber port on the switch or at the ends of a fiber cable when they are
powered on.
•
Invisible laser radiation can occur when the connectors are open. Avoid direct eye exposure to the
beam when optical connections are unplugged.
•
Never alter, modify, or change an optical device in any way other than suggested in this document.
GBIC, SFP (Mini-GBIC), QSFP+, XENPAK, and XFP Regulatory Compliance
Extreme Networks pluggable optical modules and direct-attach cables meet the following regulatory
requirements:
•
Class 1 or Class 1M Laser Product
•
EN60825-1:2007 2nd Ed. or later, European standard
•
FCC 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J in accordance with FDA & CDRH requirements
•
Application of CE Mark in accordance with 2014/30/EU EMC Directive and the 2014/35/EU Low
Voltage Directives
•
UL and/or CSA registered component for North America
•
47 CFR Part 15, Class A when installed into Extreme products
Cable Routing for LAN Systems
Extreme Networks equipment meets the requirements for LAN system equipment.
LAN systems are designed for intra-building installations; that is, cable runs between devices must be in
the same building as the connected units, except under the conditions listed in the next paragraph.
