Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install an SFP, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines:
• SFPs are static sensitive. For more information about how to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), see
• Dust contamination can reduce the performance of optical parts in SFPs. After you store
an SFP, or after you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over
the 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 after you handle or install 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 must touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
• Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
