Laser Safety Information
This product may use Class 1 lasers to communicate over the fiber optic conduc-
tors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not
consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) requires labeling information that states that the lasers are
Class 1.
Labeling Requirements
There are no caution or danger labels required for use of the optical Gigabit Inter-
face Converter (GBIC) since it is a Class 1 laser component assembly. Within the
U.S., the only laser safety label required is the certification label that already
appears on the plastic retainer of the optical GBIC assembly. Outside of the U.S.,
the IEC 825 laser safety standard requires that the system level product have a
Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible whenever
access to the optical ports is possible. This label is supplied with the equipment
and applied by the user during the installation procedure. Refer to Section 2 Instal-
lationl. An example of the IEC Class 1 information label and its dimensions,
suitable for use in most European countries, is shown below. The label consists of
black printing on a yellow background. The languages represented on this example
label are English, German, Finnish, and French and represent the minimum set for
acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European countries.
