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.
