Port Connection Guidelines
Depending on the chassis and installed line cards, you can use Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus
(QSFP+), QSFP28, QSFP-DD, SFP, SFP+, CFP-DCO, and RJ-45 connectors to connect the ports on the line
cards to other network devices.
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables when installing a transceiver in the line card, we recommend that
you disconnect the transceiver from its fiber-optic cables. Before removing the transceiver from the router,
remove the cable from the transceiver. You can change or remove the cable without removing the transceiver.
To maximize the effectiveness and life of your transceivers and optical cables, do the following:
• Wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that is connected to an earth ground whenever handling transceivers.
• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and insertions
• Keep the transceivers and fiber-optic cables clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and to

prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should
be kept below 0.35 dB.
• Clean these parts before installation to prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.
• Clean the connectors regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment.
In addition, clean connectors when they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and

Connect Router to the Network Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters Note To comply with GR-1089-CORE, Railway EN 50121, Smartgrid IEC 61850, and IEEE 1613, the intra-building port(s) of the equipment must use shielded intra-building cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends. Before you begin You must have completed the initial router configuration. - Page 9 Online Insertion and Removal Caution Cisco IOS XR Software 6.6.1 and later releases support online insertion and removal (OIR) of Cisco NCS 5500 series modular port adapters (MPAs). To replace an MPA in systems running earlier releases, you must power down the chassis, replace the MPA, then power up the chassis.
- Page 10 Modular Port Adapter Installation and Removal This section provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing a modular port adapter (MPA) in a Cisco NCS 55A2-MOD-S, Cisco NCS 55A2-MOD-SE-S or Cisco NCS 55A2-MOD-HD-S router. Note After you remove the MPA from the slot, wait for 60 seconds before you reinsert the MPA.
