Removing a Cable from a Transceiver

Caution To prevent damage to the copper cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do not
bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension in the cable.
Caution
When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.

continuing.

from the transceiver.
