Do AntMiners comply with Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communication Commission's rules and regulations?
I tagged this question with "safety" because implicit in my question is what percentage of watts going into an AntMiner get converted to RF interference. If it's a lot, it could be a safety issue, especially since the cases of many AntMiners (e.g., S5s) are open and thus do not act as Faraday cages.

Yes. On their sales listing they note specifically that they have passed FCC and CE approval, and their products bear the markings for this accordingly.

I don't believe they are shooting straight - I have noticed strong emissions in the UHF and VHF ranges.
That is why semiconductor devices should be shielded - I am guessing they are intended to be arranged in a metallic case to keep emissions down. I have also had issues with one miner's spurious emissions disconnecting the adjacent miner's wifi by destroying the signal to noise ratio. – TheGoodDoctor – 2016-01-05T00:03:06.403
1How strong of emissions, and how did you measure them? – Nick ODell – 2016-01-05T01:06:16.207
