Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

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.

Maintaining Fiber-Optic Cables in an ACX5000 Router on page 147
The ACX routers has field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you can
connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an ACX router,
ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
"Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the ACX Router" on page
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an ACX5000 router:
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.
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.

cap.
Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver.

out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain
their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend
radius. Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage
the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
