Depends on the voltage. If 120/240 then it is probably for world market and the CE mark is probably on it. If it is only 120, then it would not be acceptable for place a CE marking on the product. But then the CE marking has no meaning in the US and is not acceptable for compliance issues.

Here is the problem with the ‘2 dB rule’. If there are only two ports it simply makes more sense to cable the ports. If the device passes, go no further. If you only fill one port, then you have to still fill the remaining port to meet the 2dB rule, even if it passes. So, why waste the
