Chapter 5 Installing and Removing SFP and XFP Modules
Removing and Installing XFP Modules
Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, follow these guidelines:
• Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
• Always inspect and clean the LC connector end faces just before making any connections. Refer to
the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
• Always grasp the LC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
a. Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable LC connectors. Save the dust plugs
for future use.
b. Inspect and clean the LC connector’s fiber-optic end faces.
