Laser Safety Information

This product may use Class 1 lasers to communicate over the fiber optic conduc- tors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requires labeling information that states that the lasers are Class 1.

Labeling Requirements

There are no caution or danger labels required for use of the optical Gigabit Inter- face Converter (GBIC) since it is a Class 1 laser component assembly. Within the U.S., the only laser safety label required is the certification label that already appears on the plastic retainer of the optical GBIC assembly. Outside of the U.S., the IEC 825 laser safety standard requires that the system level product have a Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible whenever access to the optical ports is possible. This label is supplied with the equipment and applied by the user during the installation procedure. Refer to Section 2 Instal- lationl. An example of the IEC Class 1 information label and its dimensions, suitable for use in most European countries, is shown below. The label consists of black printing on a yellow background. The languages represented on this example label are English, German, Finnish, and French and represent the minimum set for acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European countries.
