transceiver.

NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure
that it is correctly oriented. Do not force the cable. Do not insert any unsupported cable or a cable that is
intended for another type of transceiver into an SFP-DD transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as
the transceiver.
5. Gently tug on the cable to make sure that it is seated firmly.
