Step 5 Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports, store them for later use.

Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from 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.

Step 6 Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

Step 2 Disconnect the LC from the SFP module.

Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

Step 4 Unlock and remove the SFP module. See Figure B-34.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

IE 3000 Series, IEM30004PC specifications

The Cisco IEM30004PC is an integral component of the Cisco IE 3000 Series, designed specifically for deployment in harsh industrial environments. This managed Ethernet switch provides versatility, reliability, and robust performance necessary for industrial applications, supporting a range of Ethernet-enabled devices.

One of the main features of the IEM30004PC is its rugged design. The switch is built to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for usage in manufacturing plants, oil and gas facilities, and transportation systems. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring dependable functionality in varying environmental conditions.

The IEM30004PC is equipped with four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports support both copper and fiber connections, providing flexibility for network installations. In addition, the switch supports various redundancy protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which enhance network reliability and fault tolerance.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the IEM30004PC is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature allows the switch to deliver power over the Ethernet cables to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, eliminating the need for separate power sources and simplifying installations.

Cisco's IEM30004PC also integrates advanced security features, including 802.1X port-based authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). These security measures ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the network, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall network integrity.

For network management, the IEM30004PC supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco's Network Assistant, and other management tools. This enables centralized control and monitoring of the network, simplifying the administration and operation of industrial networks.

In summary, the Cisco IEM30004PC, as part of the IE 3000 Series, is engineered for robust performance in industrial settings. With its rugged design, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE capabilities, and advanced security features, it is an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliable networking solutions in challenging environments. Its comprehensive management options further enhance its utility, making it an indispensable asset for modern industrial networks.
