Safety and regulatory 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.

•"Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines" (page 9)
•"Care of fiber optic equipment" (page 10)
•"Product safety warnings and information" (page 14)
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 are dust sensitive. 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.
•To clean contaminants from the optical bores of an SFP or XFP, use an
alcohol swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.
•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 regulatory 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 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)
•"Job aid: connector cleaning tools and materials" (page 12)
•"Cleaning single SC and FC connectors" (page 12)
•"Cleaning duplex SC connectors" (page 13)
•"Cleaning receptacles" (page 13)
Fiber optic cable care
Although the glass fiber of 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.
