ACX Series routers have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you
can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin connecting a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a
router, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers
(see "General Laser Safety Guidelines for Juniper Networks Devices" on page
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an ACX Series router:
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.
1.
Save the cap.
Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
