Removing a Cable from a Transceiver
Removing a Cable from a Transceiver
Caution To prevent damage to the copper cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do not
bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension in the cable.
Caution
When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.
Caution If the cable cannot be easily removed, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before
continuing.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow the instructions for its use.
Step 2
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector
from the transceiver.
Step 3
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
