General
System 5000 Wideband Microwave Transceiver fiber optic intra-facility links are a high-
performance, cost-effective alternative to coaxial cable. They provide much longer transmission
distances than copper cables, which simplify network design, ease installation and even enhance
immunity from EMI, RFI and lightning. These transmitters and receivers take the best RF design
features of Emcore’s extensive families of products and combine them into a compact package
compatible with the 10901G Power Supply.
The System 5000 Wideband Microwave Transceiver family’s wide range of RF with a single
chassis. The final result is a system that can be factory or user custom configured to meet a wide
range of fiber transport applications.

Optics Handling & Safety
Working with fiber optic cables and interfaces require a clean dust free environment. The optical power is
confined in the optical core only a few microns in diameter. Small particles of dust can block the proper
transfer of light through the connectors. It is therefore important to keep connectors as clean as possible,
and when in doubt of the cleanliness of a connector, clean it prior to inserting into a transmitter or receiver
receptacle.
A number of events can damage fiber optic connectors. Unprotected connector ends can experience
damage by impact, airborne dust particles, or excess humidity or moisture. Never touch the fiber end face of
the connector.
When cleaning fiber optic connectors use only Industrial grade 99% pure isopropyl alcohol, lens-grade, lint-
free tissue, and optionally canned dry air. Alternatively, there are a number of simple, effective products that
are specifically designed for cleaning fiber optic connectors.
Never look onto an illuminated fiber end.
Disclaimer
Every attempt has been made to make this material complete, accurate and up-to-date. Users are cautioned
that EMCORE reserves the right to make changes without notice and shall not be held responsible for any
damages, including consequential, caused by reliance on the material presented, including, but not limited
to, typographical, arithmetical, or listing errors.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, LIABILITY, WARRANTY AND GENERAL NOTES
Safety Considerations
When installing or using this product, observe all safety precautions during handling and operation. Failure
to comply with the following general safety precautions and with specific precautions described elsewhere
in this manual violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture, and intended use of this product.
Emcore assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these precautions.
The fiberoptic laser transmitter used in Emcore’s System 5000 link contains a class IIIb laser product as
defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Food and Drug
Administration. This laser product complies with 21 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter J of the DHEW standards
under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
The laser operates at nominally 1310 nm with less than 30 mW optical output. The typical optical output for
this product is less than 10 mW. The protective laser plug-in module housing prevents a user from being
exposed to hazardous optical output levels. Since there is no human access to the laser output during
system operation, no special operator precautions are necessary when fiber is connected to the transmitter
and receiver. During installation, service, or maintenance, the service technician is warned to not look
directly into the end of the fiber connector or the fiber. The light emitted from the fiberoptic connector or any
fiber connected to the transmitter is invisible and may be harmful to the human eye. Use either an infared
fluorescent screen or an optical power meter for optical output verification. All handling precautions as
outlined by Federal agencies or other authorities of class IIIb lasers must be observed.
Do not attempt to modify or to service the laser diode module. Return it to Emcore for service and repair.
Contact the Emcore Customer Service Department for a return authorization and further instructions.

Electrostatic Sensitivity
Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures. Semiconductor laser transmitters and receivers provide
highly reliable performance when operated in conformity with their intended design. However, a
semiconductor laser may be damaged by an electrostatic charge inadvertently imposed by careless
handling.
Static electricity can be conducted to the laser chip from the center pin of the RF input connector, and
through the DC connector pins. When unpacking and otherwise handling the transmitter, follow ESD
precautionary procedures including use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces, and
grounded floor mats.
Exposure to electrostatic charge is greatly reduced after the transmitter or receiver has been installed in an
operational circuit.
Service
Do not attempt to modify or service any part of the system other than in accordance with procedures
outlined in this Operation Manual. If the system does not meet its warranted specifications, or if a problem
is encountered that requires service, return the apparently faulty plug-in or assembly to Emcore for
evaluation in accordance with Emcore's warranty policy.
When returning a plug-in or assembly for service, include the following information: Owner, Model Number,
Serial Number, Return Authorization Number (obtained in advance from Emcore's Customer Service
Dept.), service required and/or description of the problem encountered.
Warranty
Emcore warrants to the original purchaser all standard products sold by Emcore to be free of defects in
material and workmanship for one (1) year from date of shipment from Emcore. During the warranty
period, Emcore's obligation, at our option, is limited to repair or replacement of any product that Emcore
proves to be defective. This warranty does not apply to any product that has been subject to alteration,
abuse, improper installation or application, accident, electrical or environmental over-stress, negligence in
use, storage, transportation, or handling.
This warranty is the only warranty made by Emcore and is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or
implied, except as to title, and can be amended only by a written instrument signed by an officer of Emcore.
Emcore sales agents or representatives are not authorized to make commitments on warranty returns.
Limitations of Liabilities
Emcore's liability on any claim of any kind, including negligence, for any loss or damage arising from,
connected with, or resulting from the purchase order, contract, or quotation, or from the performance or
breach thereof, or from the design, manufacture, sale, delivery, installation, inspection, operation or use of
any equipment covered by or furnished under this contract, shall in no case exceed the purchase price of
the device which gives rise to the claim.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, EMCORE MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EMCORE
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INDIRECT,
SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH

FURNISHING OF GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICE HEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE, USE OF,
OR INABILITY TO USE THE GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICE.
Emcore will not be responsible for loss of output or reduced output of opto-electronic devices if the
customer performs chip mounting, ribbon bonding, wire bonding, fiber coupling, fiber connectorization, or
similar operations. These processes are critical and may damage the device or may affect the device's
output or the fiber output.
Emcore test reports or data indicating mean-time-to-failure, mean-time-between-failure, or other reliability
data are design guides and are not intended to imply that individual products or samples of products will
achieve the same results. These numbers are to be used as management and engineering tools, and are
not necessarily indicative of expected field operation. These numbers assume a mature design, good
parts, and no degradation of reliability due to manufacturing procedures and processes.
Emcore is not liable for normal laser output degradation or fiber coupling efficiency degradation over the life
of the device.
Every attempt has been made to make this material as complete and accurate and up to date. Users are
cautioned that Emcore reserves the right to make changes without notice and shall not be held
responsible for any damages, including consequential, caused by reliance on the material presented,
including, but not limited to, typographical, arithmetical, or listing errors.
