Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
The AFBR-57F5MZ is compatible with ESD levels found in
typical manufacturing and operating environments as de-
scribed in Table 1. In the normal handling and operation
of optical transceivers, ESD is of concern in two circum-
stances.
Equipment incorporating gigabit transceivers is typically
subject to regulation by the FCC in the United States,
CENELEC EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe and VCCI in Japan.
The AFBR-57F5MZ’s compliance to these standards is de-
tailed in Table 1. The metal housing and shielded design
of the AFBR-57F5MZ minimizes the EMI challenge facing
the equipment designer.
The first case is during handling of the transceiver prior to
insertion into an SFP compliant cage. To protect the de-
vice, it’s important to use normal ESD handling pre-cau-
tions. These include use of grounded wrist straps, work-
benches and floor wherever a transceiver is handled.
EMI Immunity (Susceptibility)
Due to its shielded design, the EMI immunity of the AFBR-
57F5MZ exceeds typical industry standards.
The second case to consider is static discharges to the
exterior of the host equipment chassis after installation.
If the optical interface is exposed to the exterior of host
equipment cabinet, the transceiver may be subject to sys-
tem level ESD requirements.
Flammability
The AFBR-57F5MZ optical transceiver is made of metal
and high strength, heat resistant, chemical resistant and
UL 94V-0 flame retardant plastic.
