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.
Care of fiber optic equipment navigation
•“Fiber optic cable care” (page 10)
•“Fiber optic connector care” (page 11)
•“Cleaning single connectors” (page 12)
•“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.
