Such devices include but are not limited to gigabit interface converters (GBICs),
small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules (or mini-GBICs), QSFP+ modules, XENPAK
transceivers, and XFP laser optic modules.
Warning
Laser optic modules become very hot after prolonged use. Take care when
removing a laser optic module from the module or option card. If the laser
optic module is too hot to touch, disengage the laser optic module and allow it
to cool before removing it completely.
When working with laser optic modules, always take the precautions listed
below to avoid exposure to hazardous radiation.
• Never look at the transmit LED/laser through a magnifying device while the transmit
LED is powered on.
• Never look directly at a ber port on the switch or at the ends of a ber cable when
they are powered on.
• Invisible laser radiation can occur when the connectors are open. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam when optical connections are unplugged.
• Never alter, modify, or change an optical device in any way other than suggested in
this document.

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.
