Compliance with RF safety requirements:

 Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation.

 The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when the

antenna is not connected.

Laser Safety

Fiber optic ports of the GX system emit invisible laser radiation at the 1310/1550 nm wavelength window.

The laser apertures /outputs are the green SC/APC Bulkhead adapters located on the front panel of the equipment.

The product is Class 1/Hazard level 1

External optical power is less than 10mW, Internal optical power is less than 500mW.

To avoid eye injury never look directly into the optical ports, patch cords or optical cables. Do not stare into beam or view

directly with optical instruments. Always assume that optical outputs are on.

Only technicians familiar with fiber optic safety practices and procedures should perform optical fiber connections and

disconnections of GX devices and the associated cables.
