Small form factor pluggable transceivers

Removing an SFP

Remove an SFP to replace it or to commission it elsewhere.
Prerequisites
• Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
Warning:
Risk of eye injury by laser
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
Risk of equipment damage
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an ESD jack.
Procedure steps
1. Disconnect the network fiber optic cable from the SFP connector.
2. Affix dust covers over the fiber optic bore and connector.
3. Depending on your SFP model, to release the SFP, press the locking and extractor
mechanism.
4. Slide the SFP out of the module SFP slot.
If the SFP does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking
motion while firmly pulling the SFP from the slot.
5. Store the SFP in a safe place until needed.
Important:
If you discard the SFP, be sure to dispose of it according to all national laws and
regulations.
