Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to a Transceiver

Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to a Transceiver
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do
not bend them to a radius less than 1 inch (2.54 cm) if there is no tension in the cable or 2 inches (5.08 cm)
if there is tension in the cable.
To prevent possible damage to the cable or transceiver, install the transceiver in the port before installing the
cable in the transceiver.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Remove the dust cover from the port connector on the cable.
Step 3 Remove the dust cover from the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 4
Align the cable connector with the transceiver and insert the connector into the transceiver until it clicks into
place (see the following figure for SFP or SFP+ transceivers).
