Cortland, et al;
Fiber optic cable is provided with fire resistant & lo smoke coatings,
just
like other cable... this is usually specified for installations...
generally the driver device folks don't supply the fiber optic cable, but...
The copper to fiber optic converters usually contain lasers and need to
comply to North American (CDRH & Can equivalent) and Euro 825 laser
requirements...
Component suppliers usually provide component recognition on their unit
to
aid the equipment suppliers in their certification process... (and to keep
the equipment suppliers from digging into the design of their unit too
deeply)...
Some equipment suppliers also want some level of NEBS certification of
the
FO driver unit, too...
Wot else???
