Regulatory Compliance
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
system level ESD requirements.
The AFBR-57R5AEZ complies with all applicable laws
and regulations as detailed in Table 1. Certification level
is dependent on the overall configuration of the host
equipment. The transceiver performance is offered as a
figure of merit to assist the designer.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Equipment incorporating gigabit transceivers is typi-
cally subject to regulation by the FCC in the United
States, CENELEC EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe and
VCCI in Japan. The AFBR-57R5AEZ’s compliance to these
standards is detailed in Table 1. The metal housing and
shielded design of the AFBR-57R5AEZ minimizes the EMI
challenge facing the equipment designer.
The AFBR-57R5AEZ is compatible with ESD levels found
in typical manufacturing and operating environments
as described in Table 1. In the normal handling and op-
eration of optical transceivers, ESD is of concern in two
circumstances.
The first case is during handling of the transceiver prior
to insertion into an SFP compliant cage. To protect the
device, it’s important to use normal ESD handling pre-
cautions. These include use of grounded wrist straps,
work-benches and floor wherever a transceiver is
handled.
