CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not
touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
7. Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.
8. Place the transceiver in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
9. Place the dust cover over the empty port.
Connect a Fiber-Optic Cable to an Optical Transceiver in an MX10004
Router
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in the MX10004 router, ensure
that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
Guidelines and Warnings" on page 253
).
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver in an MX10004 router:
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.
LASER WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. If the optical transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver.
4. Secure the cables so that they do not support their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in
a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending
the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
