Precautions Specific to Transceivers and Cables
DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Broadcom and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products
that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
