Product Information

Alternatively, at the discretion of the manufacturer, the same statement may be included in user information. If a label is used, an example of the IEC Class 1 information label that is suitable for most European countries is shown below. The label consists of black printing on a white background. Languages represented on this label are English, German, Finnish and French, and they represent the minimum set for acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European countries.

Small Form Factor Transceiver

The small form factor transceiver is an integrated duplex data link for bi-directional communications over multimode or single mode optical fiber. Each small form factor transceiver consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave length small form factor transceivers and 1270 to 1355 nanometers for long wavelength small form factor transceivers. For non-OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed the small form factor transceiver.

Usage Restrictions

Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation of the system and could possible lead to points of access that may emit laser radiation levels above the Class 1 limits established in the U. S. by the DHHS and within Europe by EN60825-1/EN60825-2.

Short wavelength and long wavelength small form factor transceivers allow normal data transmission on the optical link when they are connected to another compatible laser product. Short wavelength and long wavelength small form factor transceivers embedded in Emulex host adapter are non-OFC. For non- OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non-OFC and certified as a Class 1 laser product.

Any system level product that incorporates the small form factor transceivers must provide power supply protection that guarantees a voltage of 5.0 volts or less at the small form factor transceivers. The functional power supply range of the small form factor transceivers product is specified as 3.135 to 3.465V typically. Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and lifetime of the transceiver. The transceiver will remain operational with laser emissions below Class 1 limits provided the power supply level at the adapter remains at or below 5.0 volts. If the power supply level rises above

5.0volts, the small form factor transceiver cannot be guaranteed to operate correctly and could result in laser emissions that may exceed Class 1 limits.

System Level Certification

All host adapters containing embedded small form factor transceivers are certified as Class 1 laser products within the U.S. and Class 1 laser component assemblies outside of the U.S. Manufacturers of products properly incorporating the small form factor transceiver do not need to recertify their product for laser safety. The procedure for full system certification is therefore identical to that used for any other electronic system. When applying for system level certification to electronic standards such as IEC950, the regulatory engineers may want to see the DHHS and European conformity labeling on the small form
