Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to an EX Series Switch

184
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the switch:
Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:
1.
[edit interfaces]
user@switch# set interface-name disable
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.
Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.
2.
Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
3.
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean
and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.

Pluggable Transceivers Supported on EX Series Switches
EX Series switches support optical transceivers, which are field-replaceable units (FRUs).
You can connect fiber-optic cables to these transceivers.
Before you begin connecting a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an
EX Series switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling
of lasers (see "Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches"
on page 98).
