EOMs Operating Manual
Ref. Ed. 0 – 08/02/2021 14
2.1.4 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Although the RF port has been tested Class 2 and the DC port Class 0 (MIL-STD-750E Method
1020.2), care must be taken to prevent ESD and other electrical stresses. Otherwise, delicate
electrical structures inside the package could be damaged.
• We recommend unpacking or packing EOM in an Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA).
• Applying a transient overvoltage or any voltage above the specified maximum may cause a
permanent damage to the modulator.
2.2 Maximum ratings
• Check optical, electrical, environmental maximum ratings available on our website.
• We strongly recommend splicing the fibers and avoid optical connectors when operating at
high optical power levels (>100mW) and short wavelengths (1060 nm, 800 nm).
