Connecting to an SFP Module
This section describes how to connect to an SFP module. For instructions about how to install or remove
an SFP module, see the Cisco Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules Installation Notes (order number
DOC-7815160=) and to the documentation that came with your SFP module.
Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the ports on fiber-optic SFP modules or the rubber caps from the
the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
Before connecting to an SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in
Table 1 -2 and in the “SFP Module Slot” section on page 1-4. See Appendix B, “Connectors and Cables,”
for information about the LC on the SFP modules for fiber-optic connections.
