FDA CDRH/IEC Laser Classifications
The wavelengths of light typically transmitted through the optical fibers used in hybrid
fiber/coaxial cable (HFC) architecture fall in the infrared band of the light spectrum and are
not visible to the human eye. Transmitters are classified according to their optical power,
wavelength, and aperture size. These classifications are based on Accessible Emission Limit
(AEL), which is determined by the maximum level of laser radiation that the laser can emit
over its full range of capability during operation. Due to the different degree of the AEL, the
laser product can be classified as Class 1, Class 1M, Class 2, Class 2M, Class 3R, Class 3 B, and
Class 4 in increasing order to cause biological damage. Class 2 and 2M wavelengths are
outside the range used for broadband applications and are not discussed further. Refer to
Document Conventions on page 1-4 for laser warnings. Transmitters emit laser radiation, they
are Class 1 or Class 1M according to IEC 60825-01, Amendment 2 and FDA CDRH Laser Notice
50.
