Replacing the SFP Optics Module
Replacing the SFP Optics Module
The following section describes how to remove and install the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics
modules in the PA-POS-1OC3.
The SFP optics modules used with the PA-POS-1OC3 have LC type connectors
Note
The SFP optics modules support online insertion and removal (OIR). However, if the port adapter is
already installed in the router and the system is operational, we recommend that you administratively
shut down the SFP port before installing a new SFP optics module.
Available Cisco SFP optics modules include the following:

Handling the SFP Optics Module
Before handling the SFP optics module, observe the following guidelines:
•
•
The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of the
optical connectors. For information about inspecting and cleaning fiber optic connections, see the

SFP optics modules are static-sensitive. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, follow
your normal board- and component-handling procedures.
SFP optics modules are dust-sensitive. When storing an SFP optics module or when a fiber-optics
cable is not plugged into the connector, always keep plugs in the SFP optical bores.
