If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the router.
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.
