Connect a Fiber-Optic Cable
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a device, ensure that you
have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
and Warnings
).
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a device:
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.
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered with a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
