Before you begin
Before you remove the dust plugs and make any optical connections, follow these guidelines:

The transceiver modules and fiber connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
The multiple-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors on the optical transceivers support network interface cables
with either physical contact (PC) or ultra-physical contact (UPC) flat polished face types. The MPO connectors
on the optical transceivers do not support network interface cables with an angle-polished contact (APC) face
type.
Inspect the MPO connector for the correct cable type, cleanliness, and any damage. For complete information
on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see the
