Discuss anticipated and demonstrated benefit versus cost of utilization of your FOCS and any demonstrated Return on Investment (ROI). 4) Discuss critical information required for the use of your FOCS such as types of fiber and connectors supported, and any hazardous material or environmental concerns, etc. 5) Describe environmental testing test methods and results that your FOCS has been subjected to. Discuss environmental thresholds that the FOCS is approved to operate in (e.g. Electromagnetic susceptibility or emissions; operating / storage temperature; humidity; altitude; shock. Please provide a detailed thorough discussion of any explosive atmosphere testing). 6) Describe the size and weight of your FOCS.
