A transceiver can be
You must install the transceiver before you connect the cables to it.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when you store the transceiver, always keep the plug in the optical bores. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to premature failure.
