Disconnecting an ACX1000 or ACX1100 Fiber-Optic Cable

ACX Series routers have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-
optic cables.
Before you begin disconnecting a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in an ACX Series
router, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings" on page
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 router:
1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the command:
[edit interfaces]
interface-name disable
user@router# set
LASER 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.
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.
3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
LASER 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.
4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
