Hardware Handling/Cleaning Practices
Spirent modules contain electronic components that are sensitive to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) damage. To prevent premature component failure or latent product
damage, it is crucial that you handle this equipment following industry standard ESD
handling practices. Refer to
Appendix C, “ESD Requirements,”
for further information.
Some Spirent equipment contains fiber optic components that are very susceptible to
contamination from particles of dirt and dust. Product performance may be damaged if
these components are not kept clean. Refer to
Appendix D, “Fiber Optic Cleaning
for proper cleaning practices for these components.

This label is on all Spirent-provided electrical and electronic products that are sold and

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Label
This label indicates that the product contains material that presents an environmental
concern. Spirent encourages users of Spirent-provided electrical and electronic equipment
to not dispose of the labeled products in waste collection units where the waste is destined
for landfills. Electrical and electronic equipment should be collected separately and
recycled, reused, and processed for recovery and waste treatment in accordance with your
local, regional, and federal laws. If you have any questions regarding this labeling, please
contact your Spirent Communications representative.
