- Page 7 A transceiver module converts electrical data signals to laser light, which is then transmitted over an optical fiber. It can transmit optical signals over long distance with low signal loss. H3C devices support many types of transceiver modules in different specifications.
- Page 8 Preparing for installation Verifying the transceiver module and product compatibility Before you install a transceiver module, verify that the transceiver module is compatible with the device and its software version. For more information, see the transceiver module compatibility matrix or hardware information and specifications for the product. Examining the installation environment To avoid bodily injury or damage to transceiver modules, make sure the installation environment meets the requirements listed in...
- Page 9 Installation site requirements Optical components in transceiver modules are highly sensitive to dirt and require a high cleanliness level in manufacturing workshops. In actual application, ensure the end face cleanliness of end-to-end links to prevent end face cross-pollution between fiber jumpers and modules. To maintain cleanliness in the equipment room, follow these guidelines: •...

- Page 11 • To prevent transceiver module connector pollution caused by dust plug pollution, keep the removed dust plugs secure for future use. H3C transceiver modules are available in three types: • Bale-clasp latch transceiver modules—Include CFP2, QSFP+, SFP28, SFP+, XFP, and SFP transceiver modules.
- Page 12 Grasp the transceiver module between your thumb and index finger and correctly orient it. Align it with the fiber port and push it gently into the port until you feel it snaps into place. See callout 2 in Figure Transceiver modules and fiber ports have disorientation rejection designs. If you cannot insert a transceiver module easily into a port, the orientation might be wrong.
- Page 13 Figure 4 Correct and wrong removal practices (QSFP+ transceiver module) Insert the dust plug into the fiber port. Installing and removing a pull latch transceiver module This installation procedure is applicable to QSFP-DD, QSFP28, CXP, and QSFP+ transceiver modules. The pull latch of transceiver modules can be plastic or rubber. The installation procedure is similar. The following procedure uses a rubber pull latch as an example.
- Page 14 Figure 5 Installing a CXP transceiver module Grasping the fiber connector between your thumb and index finger, align it with the transceiver module optical bore and push it into the optical bore. Transceiver module optical bores and fiber connectors have disorientation rejection designs. If you cannot insert a fiber connector easily into a transceiver module bore, the orientation might be wrong.
- Page 15 Figure 6 Correct and wrong removal practices (CXP transceiver module) Insert the dust plug into the fiber port. Installing and removing a transceiver module with captive screws This installation procedure is applicable only to a CFP transceiver module. Installation procedure Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
- Page 16 Figure 7 Installing a CFP transceiver module Grasping the fiber connector between your thumb and index finger, align it with the transceiver module optical bores and push it into the bores. Transceiver module optical bores and fiber connectors have disorientation rejection designs. If you cannot insert a fiber connector easily into a transceiver module bores, the orientation might be wrong.

- Page 18 A QSFP28 to 4 × SFP28 network cable has a 100G QSFP28 module at one end and four 25G SFP28 transceiver modules at the other end. The installation and removal procedure is the same for H3C network cables. The following procedure uses a QSFP+ network cable as an example.
- Page 19 Figure 10 Correct and wrong removal practices (QSFP+ network cable) Insert the dust plug into the fiber port. Installing and removing a hybrid copper-fiber transceiver module, hybrid copper-fiber cable jumper, or hybrid copper-fiber cable pigtail Installation procedure CAUTION: A hybrid copper-fiber transceiver module supplies power or receives power through the conductive terminals.
- Page 20 Figure 11 Connecting a hybrid copper-fiber cable jumper to a hybrid copper-fiber transceiver module Removal procedure CAUTION: • Attach a dust cap to any open connector on a hybrid copper-fiber cable jumper or pigtail to protect them from contamination. • To avoid damage to conductive terminals on a hybrid copper-fiber transceiver module, use only dust caps provided with the hybrid copper-fiber cable for connectors on a hybrid copper-fiber cable jumper or pigtail.
