Class 1 laser product.
Any system level product that incorporates the small form factor transceivers
must provide power supply protection that guarantees a voltage of 5.0 volts or
less at the small form factor transceivers. The functional power supply range of
the small form factor transceivers product is specified as 3.135 to 3.465V
typically. Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and
lifetime of the transceiver. The transceiver will remain operational with laser
emissions below Class 1 limits provided the power supply level at the adapter
remains at or below 5.0 volts. If the power supply level rises above 5.0 volts, the
small form factor transceiver cannot be guaranteed to operate correctly and could
result in laser emissions that may exceed Class 1 limits.
System Level Certification
All GLMs and GBICs sold as accessories by Emulex or host adapters containing
embedded 1x9 or small form factor transceivers are certified as Class 1 laser
products within the U.S. and Class 1 laser component assemblies outside of the
U.S. Manufacturers of products properly incorporating the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or
small form factor transceiver do not need to recertify their product for laser
safety. The procedure for full system certification is therefore identical to that
used for any other electronic system. When applying for system level
certification to electronic standards such as IEC950, the regulatory engineers
may want to see the DHHS and European conformity labeling on the GLM,
GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver, and the system level documentation
and labeling. Copies of the certificate of conformity for any GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or
small form factor transceiver sold by Emulex can be obtained upon request from
Emulex Corporation, Costa Mesa.
