relevant safety standards may damage the RTM and the SFP/SFP+ modules and may lead to
personal injury.
Only use and install SFP/SFP+ modules which are fully certified and which meet all relevant
safety standards.
Personal
Injury
Optical SFP/SFP+ modules may be classified as laser products. When installing and using any of
these SFP/SFP+ modules, the regulations which correspond to the respective laser class apply
to the whole RTM. Not complying to these regulations may lead to personal injury.
When installing and using optical SFP/SFP+ modules which are classified as laser products,
make sure to comply to the respective regulations.
Eye
Damage
Optical SFP/SFP+ modules may emit laser radiation when no cable is connected. This laser
radiation is harmful to your eyes.
Do not look into the optical lens at any time.
SFP/SFP+ Module Damage
The optical port plug protects the optical fibres against dirt and damage. Dirt and damage can
render the SFP/SFP+ module inoperable.
Only remove the optical plug when you are ready to connect a cable to the SFP/SFP+ module.
When no cable is connected, cover the port with an optical port plug.
