Mirko, this is all getting very muddy now that there is an APEC MRA on Telecom requirements and an APEC MRA on Product Safety in the offing. Combine that with Korea in the throes of changing over to a program that is more like the FCC program (before the FCC launches a Notice of Inquiry on

You're singing to the choir now! I was ecstatic when fiber came up. Pictured me sitting around have a fine time. Then reality hit. As noted below by Michael a share of the problem does belong to the transceivers and cables. Good signal integrity work up to the transceiver is a must. But the

To All, Thanks to all who responded for your views and experiences regarding EMI phenomena related to fiber optics. You confirmed my intuition. I do not have first hand experience with these beasts, so this gives me ammunition in dealing with problems early as we get into this type circuitry.

I think this is a lot like the fable about belling the cat (where the mice decide it would be nice if the cat wore a bell, so it could not sneak up on them). All the mice agreed it was a great plan, until one old spoil-sport asked who was going to bell the cat. What I'm saying is that while

What an interesting discussion! As many others, I suspect, I believed that the CE mark was extended to cover the LVD (and possibly other safety requirements) in order to permit use of a harmonized standard rather than various national ones. Well, I've been wrong before, so it would be no

Hello Lou, A one stop hit site for a world wide listing of EMC standards is a very good idea!! Australia and New Zealand have adopted generally all IEC/CISPR and IEC/CENELEC standards in their original form and these standards are published as AS/NZS ..Number eg. CISPR 22 is AS/NZS 3548.

Dear Robert, You need to refer to the APEC MRA documents and also country specific documents/rules on how they are implementing the various phases of this MRA.. Not all APEC members signed the MRA but one of them is Korea. The APEC MRA can be found at http://www.tsacc.ic.gc.ca/MRA/;. The
