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 of either 850 nanometers (shortwave laser) or 1310 nanometers (longwave laser).
Class 1 Laser products are not considered hazardous.
WARNING There are no user maintenance operations, service operations, or adjustments to be performed on the SFP 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.
