Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before installing your SFP GBIC, read the following handling, safety, and
environmental guidelines:
• SFP GBICs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD), follow your normal board and component handling
procedures.
• SFP GBICs are dust sensitive. When storing a SFP GBIC, or when a SFP
GBIC is disconnected from a fiber optic cable, always keep the dust cover
over a SFP GBIC’s optical bores.
• To clean contaminants from the optical bores of a SFP GBIC, use an alcohol
swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.
• Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Note: The cable distance may vary depending on the quality of fiber
optic cable used.
Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can
injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port.
Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.
