ditions and under all reasonably foreseeable single fault
conditions per EN60825-1. Avago Technologies has tested
the transceiver design for compliance with the require-
ments listed below under normal operating conditions
and under single fault conditions where applicable. TUV
Rheinland has granted certification to these transceivers
for laser eye safety and use in EN 60825-2 applications.
Their performance enables the transceivers to be used
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in which immunity to ESD
damage is important.
The first case is during handling of the transceiver prior
to mounting it on the circuit board. It is important to use
normal ESD handling precautions for ESD sensitive devices.
These precautions include using grounded wrist straps,
work benches, and floor mats in ESD controlled areas.

the circuitry, and possible overstress of the laser source.
Device degradation or product failure may result.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing these high-speed trans-
ceivers from Avago Technologies will be required to meet
FCC regulations in the United States, CENELEC EN55022
(CISPR 22) in Europe and VCCI in Japan. Refer to EMI
section (page 9) for more details.
Connection of the devices to a non-approved optical
source, operating above the recommended absolute
maximum conditions or operating the AFCT-5962TLZ/
TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ in a manner inconsistent with
its design and function may result in hazardous radiation
exposure and may be considered an act of modifying or
manufacturing a laser product. The person(s) performing
such an act is required by law to recertify and reidentify
the laser product under the provisions of U.S. 21 CFR (Sub-
chapter J).
Immunity
Transceivers will be subject to radio-frequency electro-
magnetic fields following the IEC 61000-4-3 test method.
