CAUTION: Toavoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not
touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.

2. Check to see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not,
cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
