GBIC, SFP (Mini-GBIC), QSFP+, XENPAK, and XFP Regulatory Compliance
Extreme Networks pluggable optical modules and direct-attach cables meet the following regulatory
requirements:
• Class 1 or Class 1M Laser Product
• EN60825-1:2007 2nd Ed. or later, European standard
• FCC 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J in accordance with FDA & CDRH requirements
• Application of CE Mark in accordance with 2014/30/EU EMC Directive and the 2014/35/EU Low
Voltage Directives
• UL and/or CSA registered component for North America
• 47 CFR Part 15, Class A when installed into Extreme products
Cable Routing for LAN Systems
Extreme Networks equipment meets the requirements for LAN system equipment.
LAN systems are designed for intra-building installations; that is, cable runs between devices must be in
the same building as the connected units, except under the conditions listed in the next paragraph.
As allowed in the USA by the National Electrical Code (NEC), this equipment can be connected
between buildings if any one of the following conditions is true:
• Cable runs between buildings are less than 140 feet long.
• Cable runs between buildings are directly buried.
• Cable runs between buildings are in an underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable
shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each building grounding
electrode system.
Caution
Failure to follow these requirements for cable routing conditions may expose the user to
electrical shock and expose the unit to damage that can cause errors.
Warning
The Ethernet ports of the equipment and its sub-assemblies are suitable only for intra-
building connections (within the same building) or for connections to unexposed wiring or
cabling. (See the conditions listed above.) The Ethernet ports of this equipment or its sub-
assemblies must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant
(OSP) or its wiring. Ethernet interfaces are designed for use only as intra-building interfaces
(described as Type 2 or Type 4 ports in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and require isolation from the
exposed OSP wiring. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sucient protection to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
This warning does not apply to T1/E1 ports because T1/E1 ports have built-in isolation and
surge protection that allows them to be connected to OSP wiring.
