Note Connectors on the fiber-optic cables must be free of dust, oil, or other contaminants. Before
connecting the cable to the line card, carefully clean the fiber-optic connectors using an
alcohol wipe or other suitable cleanser. Refer to the “Cleaning Fiber-Optic Connectors”
section on page 55 for more information.
The connector on the cable might be supplied with a dust cover. If it is, remove the dust
cover before trying to connect the cable to the line card port.
Removing and Installing Fiber-Optic Interface Cables
This section contains information on removing and installing fiber-optic interface cables to connect your
router to another router or switch.
Note The procedures in the following sections use illustrations of an Ethernet line card to support the
descriptions of removing and installing interface cables. Although the line cards differ, the process of
removing and installing interface cables is basically the same. Therefore, separate procedures and
illustrations are not included in this publication.
