Removing the Transceiver Module

Caution The transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual
grounding device when handling transceiver modules or coming into contact with modules.

Step 2

Step 5

Connect Interface Ports

You can connect optical interface ports on line cards with other devices for network connectivity.

Connect a Fiber-Optic Port to the Network

Depending on which line card model that you are using, you can use either QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers.
Some transceivers work with fiber-optic cables that you attach to the transceivers and other transceivers work
with pre-attached copper cables. You must install a transceiver in the port before installing the fiber-optic
cable in the transceiver.
