Well, I guess we found the answer ourselves, the power of the "net"

There are two categories. RoHS-6 complies with the restriction of all of the
six listed substances. RoHS-5 compliance is for customers who wish to
exercise the lead-solder exemption, as defined in the RoHS directive: ".for
servers, storage and storage array systems, network infrastructure equipment
for switching, signaling, transmission as well as network management for
telecommunications."

Thanks

Sure is quiet around here these days!  Is everyone enjoying the show?



Does anyone know the meaning and or significance of "R5" in reference to
RoHS?
