Product Regulatory Information
A. Certification and Classification Information
This product contains a laser internal to the GigaBit Interface Converter (GBIC)
transceiver module for connection to the Fibre communications port.
In the USA, the GBIC module is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to
the requirements contained in the Department Of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) regulation 21 CFR, Subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label
on the metal GBIC housing.
Outside the USA, the GBIC is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to the
requirements contained in IEC 825-1:1993 and EN 60825-1:1994, including

B. Product Information
Each communications port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical
subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains internally a semiconductor
laser diode in the wavelength range of 780 nanometers (shortwave laser) or 1310
nanometers (longwave laser). In the event of a break anywhere in the fibre path,
the GBIC control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous.
There are no user maintenance operations, or adjustments to be
WARNING
performed on any GBIC module.
C. Usage Restrictions
Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation of
the system and points of access may emit laser radiation above the Class 1 limits
established by the IEC and U.S. DHHS.
