Safety and equipment care information
This section contains important safety and regulatory information. Read
this section before you install Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceivers or 10 Gigabit SFP (XFP) transceivers.
Navigation •“Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines” (page 9)
•“Care of fiber optic equipment” (page 10)
•“Product safety warnings and information” (page 16)
Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install an SFP or XFP, read the following handling, safety, and
environmental guidelines:
•SFPs and XFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), see “Electrostatic discharge prevention”
(page 9).
•SFPs and XFPs use optical parts whose performance can be reduced
by dust contamination. When you store an SFP or XFP, or when you
disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over
the optical bore.
•Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
•Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use
a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and
a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be
grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
•Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.

10 Safety and equipment care information
•Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation,
and use only a static-shielding bag for all storage, transport, and
handling.
•Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or
styrofoam because these materials carry static electricity that damages
the equipment.
Care of fiber optic equipment
Fiber optic equipment connections must be kept clean and damage-free.
Use the information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber
optic equipment.

•“Cleaning duplex connectors” (page 13)
•“Cleaning receptacles” (page 14)
Fiber optic cable care
Although the glass fiber in fiber optic cable is protected with reinforcing
material and plastic insulation, it is subject to damage. Use the following
precautions to avoid damaging the glass fiber.
•Do not kink, knot, or vigorously flex the cable.
•Do not bend the cable to less than a 40 mm radius.
•Do not stand on fiber optic cable; keep the cable off the floor.
•Do not pull fiber optic cable any harder than you would a cable
containing copper wire of comparable size.
•Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on any section
of the cable.
•Place protective caps on fiber optic connectors that are not in use.
•Store unused fiber optic patch cables in a cabinet, on a cable rack, or
flat on a shelf.
Frequent overstressing of fiber optic cable causes progressive
degeneration that leads to failure.

Care of fiber optic equipment 11
If you suspect damage to a fiber optic cable, either due to mishandling
or an abnormally high error rate observed in one direction, reverse the
cable pairs. If the high error rate appears in the other direction, replace
the cable.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Do not crush fiber optic cable. If fiber optic cable is in the
same tray or duct with large, heavy electrical cables, it can be
damaged by the weight of the electrical cable.
Fiber optic connector care
Before connecting them to transmission equipment, test equipment, patch
panels, or other connectors, ensure fiber optic connectors are clean. The
performance of an optical fiber connector depends on how clean the
connector and coupling are at the time of connection.
A damaged or dirty connector can damage a connector with which it is
mated. A connector must be absolutely clean before it is inserted into a
transmitter or receiver.
Never clean an optical connector that is carrying light. Optical power can
cause ignition of the cleaning material when it contacts the end of the
optical connector, destroying the connector. Typical cleaning materials, for
example, tissues saturated with alcohol, combust almost instantaneously
when exposed to optical power levels of +15 dBm or higher.
Visually inspect the connector to determine cleanliness and to determine if
it needs replacing. Any connector that has a scratch across the core, or a
scratch that appears to end in the core, must be replaced.
The proper connector cleaning method depends on the connector
contaminants:
•Cleanliness is best judged by visual inspection with a fiber microscope.
First inspect the connector, then clean as required.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury
When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are
off. The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage
your eyes.
•If you suspect only the possibility of dust particles (for example, which
can occur when a connector is left uncapped in a clean environment),
use high-quality canned air or a reel ceaner (for example, a Cletop) to

12 Safety and equipment care information
clean the connector. A reel cleaner is a good choice for making sure
that no dust contaminates the connector.
•If the connector is visibly dirty or suspected to be contaminated by
chemicals (for example, matching gel), use high-quality alcohol and
canned air to clean the connector (see the following procedure). This
is the most thorough cleaning method. In some cases, a reel cleaner
may suffice.
Always keep in mind that the more surface manipulation applied to the
connector, the more likely the connector is to become damaged.
When you insert a connector ferrule into a connector or adapter, ensure
that the ferrule tip does not touch the outside of the mating connector or
adapter. This can produce scratches and dirt deposits on the connector.
To help prevent them from collecting dust, ensure connectors are covered
when not in use. To avoid the transfer of oil or other contaminants from
your fingers to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors with care. Do
not touch the connector end face.
Cleaning single connectors
Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the
connector.
This procedure is appropriate when more than dust contamination is
suspected.
Prerequisites
•lens-grade, lint-free tissue (for example, Kimwipes)
•optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (98% or more pure)
•high-quality canned compressed air with extension tube
Compressed air must be free of dust, water and oil, or filmy deposits or
scratches on the surface of the connector can result.
•fiber optic microscope for inspecting connectors
WARNING
Risk of eye injury
When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are off.
The light source used in fiber optic cables can damage your
eyes.
To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when
working with the canned air duster.
To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when
working with isopropyl alcohol.
