Removing an SFP Transceiver

To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in an ACX Series 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.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.
1.
Save the cap.
Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
2.
Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see

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. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the
fastening point.

Removing a transceiver does not interrupt router functioning, but the removed transceiver
no longer receives or transmits data.
