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-DD, QSFP28, or QSFP+
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.
Caution
Disconnect Optical Ports from the Network
When you need to remove fiber-optic transceivers, you must first remove the fiber-optic cables from the
transceiver before you remove the transceiver from the port.
Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert transceivers any
more than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect cables before installing or removing
transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
