Cabletron Systems 6H259-17 Manual De Usuario

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 power 
exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10

-6

 watts.

Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The 
maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 
0.8 W cm
