2、es with Optional Optical-Fiber Members, UL 1277 Fourth Edition, Dated November 14, 2001 The new and revised requirements are substantially in accordance with ULs Bulletin(s) on this subject dated May 31, 2001. The bulletin(s) is now obsolete and may be discarded. As indicated on the title page (page
3、 1), this UL Standard for Safety is an American National Standard. Attention is directed to the note on the title page of this Standard outlining the procedures to be followed to retain the approved text of this ANSI/UL Standard. The master for this Standard at ULs Northbrook Office is the official
4、document insofar as it relates to a UL service and the compliance of a product with respect to the requirements for that product and service, or if there are questions regarding the accuracy of this Standard. ULs Standards for Safety are copyrighted by UL. Neither a printed copy of a Standard, nor t
5、he distribution diskette for a Standard-on-Diskette and the fi le for the Standard on the distribution diskette should be altered in any way. All of ULs Standards and all copyrights, ownerships, and rights regarding those Standards shall remain the sole and exclusive property of UL. All rights reser
6、ved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form by any means, electronic, mechanical photocopying, recording, or otherwise without prior permission of UL. Revisions of UL Standards for Safety are issued from time to time. A UL Standard for
7、 Safety is current only if it incorporates the most recently adopted revisions. UL provides this Standard as is without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fi tness for any purpose. In no event will UL be liabl
8、e for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or similar damages, including loss of profi ts, lost savings, loss of data, or any other damages arising out of the use of or the inability to use this Standard, even if UL or an authorized UL representative has been advised of the possibility o
9、f such damage. In no event shall ULs liability for any damage ever exceed the price paid for this Standard, regardless of the form of the claim. UL will attempt to answer support requests concerning electronic versions of its Standards. However, this support service is offered on a reasonable effort
10、s basis only, and UL may not be able to resolve every support request. UL supports the electronic versions of its Standards only if they are used under the conditions and operating systems for which it is intended. ULs support policies may change from time-to-time without notifi cation. UL reserves
11、the right to change the format, presentation, fi le types and formats, delivery methods and formats, and the like of both its printed and electronic Standards without prior notice. NOVEMBER 14, 2001 UL 1277tr1 Purchasers of the electronic versions of ULs Standards for Safety agree to defend, indemni
12、fy, and hold UL harmless from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage, claim, or judgement (including reasonable attorneys fees) resulting from any error or deviation introduced while purchaser is storing an electronic Standard on the purchasers computer system. If a single-user version ele
13、ctronic Standard was purchased, one copy of this Standard may be stored on the hard disk of a single personal computer, or on a single LAN fi le-server or the permanent storage device of a multiple-user computer in such a manner that this Standard may only be accessed by one user at a time and for w
14、hich there is no possibility of multiple concurrent access. If a multiple-user version electronic Standard was purchased, one copy of the Standard may be stored on a single LAN fi le-server, or on the permanent storage device of a multiple-user computer, or on an Intranet server. The number of concu
15、rrent users shall not exceed the number of users authorized. Electronic Standards are intended for on-line use, such as for viewing the requirements of a Standard, conducting a word search, and the like. Only one copy of the Standard may be printed from each single-user version of an electronic Stan
16、dard. Only one copy of the Standard may be printed for each authorized user of a multiple-user version of an electronic Standard. Because of differences in the computer/software/printer setup used by UL and those of electronic Standards purchasers, the printed copy obtained by a purchaser may not lo
17、ok exactly like the on-line screen view or the printed Standard. An employee of an organization purchasing a UL Standard can make a copy of the page or pages being viewed for their own fair and/or practical internal use. The requirements in this Standard are now in effect, except for those paragraph
18、s, sections, tables, fi gures, and/or other elements of the Standard having future effective dates as indicated in the note following the affected item. The prior text for requirements that have been revised and that have a future effective date are located after the Standard, and are preceded by a
19、SUPERSEDED REQUIREMENTS notice. New product submittals made prior to a specifi ed future effective date will be judged under all of the requirements in this Standard including those requirements with a specifi ed future effective date, unless the applicant specifi cally requests that the product be
20、judged under the current requirements. However, if the applicant elects this option, it should be noted that compliance with all the requirements in this Standard will be required as a condition of continued Recognition and Follow-Up Services after the effective date, and understanding of this shoul
21、d be signifi ed in writing. Copyright 2001 Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
