Does anyone know of a supplier of a totally front-access PDU for use in
European CO applications?

Thanks in advance,

RE: SONET ESD performance

2001-07-26 Thread George Stults

Hello Martin, Scott,

In the for what its worth category, in a previous life I worked with Fibre
Channel which  also has an official error rate in the 10^-12 range.   I
don't recall which standard covers Fibre Channel but the error rate is
familiar.   What was interesting is the rational for the error rate.

For Fibre Channel with a 1.0625 GB bit rate, 10^-12 bit errors per bit would
amount to one error in approximately 15 minuites.   It turns out that such
an error rate is unacceptably high for Fibre Channel, and presumably for the
OC-48 interface.The published limit was based on what could reasonably
be tested as opposed to expected actual performance.  A working Fibre
Channel interface generally wont have even 1 error in 2 or 3 years of
operation, but that's not trivial to measure.  You'd need to another factor
of 10^-5 for the three year test.

Best Regards

George Stults

Scott,

The permissible errors relate back to your system specification (IRS) as it
relates to BERs.  For an OC-48 interface you may be working off a rate of
around
10^-12 and it only takes a few weeks to test that !!, so the easiest and
short answer is, no bit errors should be observed during the ESD testing for
optical (read high speed) interfaces.

The statement regarding 1 errored second per discharge is the default should
your system spec fail to address bit errors (not likely).

My 2c.

Best Regards,
Martin.

Re: SONET ESD performance

2001-07-26 Thread Doug McKean

Debatable in my experience which is not a lot. 

There's two totally different standards for errors. 
One's a bit error limit and the other is a time 
errored limit. 

An errored second can have any amount of 
errors during that second.  It's not a bit error limit.  
It's a time errored limit.  But can migrate ultimately 
into interpretations bit errored limits and of equipment 
availability which is THE bottom line with the customers. 

You will be left on your own devices explaining to 
your customers exactly what pass/fail criteria or 
interpretations you used for the test.  I would 
suggest that your marketing people are the ones 
with the final responsibility for this interpretation or 
for what the customers are looking for with this 
testing.  Not you.

Re: How Safe ???

2001-07-26 Thread Robert Johnson


While the US legal system is subject to a lot of frivolous lawsuits, 
product liablilty is often the only thing keeping companies on the 
straight and narrow. We have already seen lots of correspondence in this 
newsgroup about justifying agency approvals, the use of safety 
standards, or other costs of implementing safety practices. Some only 
understand the financial risk to a company or the criminal prosecution 
of intentional neglegence. An example of lack of legal responsibility 
and the problems it creates is currently showing up in the US about 
health maintenance organizations who refuse treatment on a variety of 
disputed grounds since they cannot be sued for their decisions. This 
lack of liability is a major issue in the current medical insurance 
legislation making its way through congress.
Keep in mind that for many of us the liability risk rather than the 
moral imperative is what motivates our companies to employ us. Hopefully 
the legal decisions will primarily be judgements of reason and propriety 
rather than law and greed.

Re: Oils for the 950 Hot Flaming Oil Test

2001-07-26 Thread Robert Johnson


If you are looking for a specification for the oil, the MSDS is not 
necessarily the appropriate place to look. The MSDS is for the purpose 
of defining toxicity and similar risks and is often the same for a range 
of materials. As we were writing the standards we found it difficult to 
come up with precise definitions of materials for both this and the 
label solvent test, since both are fractions taken off the distillation 
column at the refinery and are full of all kinds of hydrocarbons of 
different types, molecular weight being the predominant difference.
As far as obtaining the oil, the traditional fuel used by UL dating back 
to UL 478 has been home heating oil. It turns out this is essentially 
the same as diesel oil used for transportation, the primary differences 
being that diesel oil receives more care to avoid water content 
(condensation), and some brands have additives for cleaning injectors. 
In the US, coloring additives are used to distinguish home heating oil 
from highway diesel oil to catch tax cheats (diesel oil has higher 
highway taxes, so don't get caught with red fuel in your truck). I use a 
diesel engine for home cogeneration (heat and electricity) and it makes 
no difference whether I use home heating oil or diesel oil. It should 
likewise make no difference in the flaming oil test.

Does anyone have any experience in the safety testing RS232 ports that is
part of an un-earthed SELV circuit?
In normal practice I understand that pin 1 is earthed for screening purposes
etc, but are there any special circumstances where an earthed connection on
the RS232 would be unfavourable.

Tanks in advance.

RE: Oils for the 950 Hot Flaming Oil Test

These are available on Exxon-Mobil's website, http:\\www.exxon.com .  

Kerosene is listed under:
http://www.exxon.com/exxon_productdata/msds/index.html 
Exxon's descriptor is: "EXXON LOW S DIESEL 1".

F.Y.I. Holes with dimensions requiring UL/EN60950 hot oil testing usually
fail.  Openings which are not round fail because of unequal surface tension
around the perimeter.  Wear protective gear and use a safety enclosure,
preferably with mechanical arm manipulators.  Do not try this at home.

RE: How Safe ???

2001-07-26 Thread Roman, Dan

Is that McDonald's below sea level?  Just wondering how far over 212F/100C
they could get the water to go!  Anything over around 150F is scalding isn't
it?  Anything under 150F and coffee drinkers would complain the coffee is
cold.  Let's sue the coffee producers for coming up with a product that can
only be enjoyed when it is dangerous to klutzes.

Now that's interesting! Is there actually a standard for the delivery

RE: Oils for the 950 Hot Flaming Oil Test

2001-07-26 Thread Roman, Dan

Peter,

Here is a link to the MSDS data sheet from the company I buy chemicals from.
They have numerous other data sheets but only for the chemicals they sell.
It lists synonyms for Kerosene which may help you locate other sources that
go by another name.

Dear All,

Does anyone have the MSDS for Kerosene # 1? This is the oil used by UL to
conduct the Hot Flaming Oil Test in the UL60950/EN 60 950  ITE standards
when the bottom openings do not comply with some of the bottom
cfonstructions specified in the standard.

I am also trying to determine other types of oils (and relevant MSDSs) which
may be suitable for the test.

Re: SONET ESD performance

2001-07-26 Thread Martin Garwood

Scott,

The permissible errors relate back to your system specification (IRS) as it
relates to BERs.  For an OC-48 interface you may be working off a rate of
around
10^-12 and it only takes a few weeks to test that !!, so the easiest and
short answer is, no bit errors should be observed during the ESD testing for
optical (read high speed) interfaces.

The statement regarding 1 errored second per discharge is the default should
your system spec fail to address bit errors (not likely).

My 2c.

Best Regards,
Martin.
