Laser Safety Information Laser Safety Information The GigWorks 1062/16 MKII Switch may use Class 1 lasers to communicate over the fiber optic conductors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requires labeling information that states that the lasers are Class 1. The following notices are given so you understand the laser’s certification and classification, the laser type and th

Laser Safety Information Optical GBICs Each optical GBIC is a single communications port. Each communications port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains internally a semiconductor laser diode of either: 1) the gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) type emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers (commonly referred to as Shortwave (SW)) or 2) indium gallium arsenide phosphide (InGaAsP) type emitting in the wavelength range

Laser Safety Information Labeling Requirements There are no caution or danger labels required for use of the optical GBIC since it is a Class 1 laser component assembly. Within the U.S., the only laser safety label required is the certification label that already appears on the plastic retainer of the optical GBIC assembly. Outside of the U.S., the IEC 825 laser safety standard requires that the system level product have a Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible whenev

General Description of these Broadcast Zones. A port will broadcast to all ports in the same Broadcast Zone (or zones) in-which the port is defined. If Hard Zones are enabled, Broadcast Zones may not cross the defined Hard Zone boundaries. • Name Server Zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 16 zones that define which ports receive Name Server information. A particular port may be defined in one or more of these Broadcast Zones. A port will receive Name Server information for al
