Disconnect A Fiber-Optic Cable; How To Handle Fiber-Optic Cables - Juniper EX9253 Hardware Manual

Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable

Before you disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
• A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
Juniper Networks devices have optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the device:
1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:
[edit interfaces]
interface-name disable
user@device# set
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers
emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.
3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
