NOTE:
Dust diameter ≥ 5 μm
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion
and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 2.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
Inductance coupling.
Electromagnetic wave radiation.
Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protective earth (PE)
to filter interference from the power grid.
Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. For example, use shielded interface cables.
To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, only route interface cables indoors.
Laser safety
Disconnected optical fibers or
transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the switch is operating.
The switch is a Class 1 laser device.
