Chapter 5 Installing and Removing SFP and XFP Modules

Removing and Installing XFP Modules

Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, follow these guidelines:

•Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.

•Always inspect and clean the LC connector end faces just before making any connections. Refer to the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.

•Always grasp the LC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.

a.Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable LC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.

b.Inspect and clean the LC connector’s fiber-optic end faces.
