Eye Safety
The AFCT-571xZ transceivers provide Class 1 eye safety
by design. Avago Technologies has tested the
transceiver design for regulatory compliance, under
normal operating conditions and under a single fault
condition. See Table 1.
Flammability
The AFCT-571xZ family of SFPs is compliant to UL 94V-
0.
Customer Manufacturing Processes
This module is pluggable and is not designed for
aqueous wash, IR reflow, or wave soldering processes.
Caution
The AFCT-571xZ contains no user-serviceable parts.
Tampering with or modifying the performance of the
AFCT-571xZ will result in voided product warranty. It
may also result in improper operation of the transceiver
circuitry, and possible over-stress of the laser source.
Device degradation or product failure may result.
Connection of the AFCT-571xZ to a non-approved
optical source, operating above the recommended
absolute maximum conditions may be considered an
act of modifying or manufacturing a laser product. The
person(s) performing such an act is required by law to
re-certify and re-identify the laser product under the
provisions of U.S. 21 CF.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two conditions in which immunity to ESD
damage is important:
The first condition is static discharge to the transceiver
during handling such as when the transceiver is inserted
into the transceiver port. To protect the transceiver, it is
important to use normal ESD handling precautions
including the use of grounded wrist straps, work
benches, and floor mats in ESD controlled areas. The
ESD sensitivity of the AFCT-571xZ is compatible with
typical industry production environments.
The second condition is static discharge to the exterior
of the host equipment chassis after installation. To the
extent that the duplex LC optical interface is exposed to
the outside of the host equipment chassis, it may be
subject to system-level ESD requirements. The ESD
performance of the AFCT-571xZ exceeds typical industry
standards. Table 1 documents ESD immunity to both of
these conditions.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs using the AFCT-571xZ SFPs
are subject to the requirements of the FCC in the
United States, CENELEC EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe
and VCCI in Japan. The metal housing and shielded
design of the transceiver minimize EMI and provide
excellent EMI performance.
EMI Immunity
The AFCT-571xZ transceivers have a shielded design
to provide excellent immunity to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields which may be present in some
operating environments.
