Tip Use a pen, screwdriver, or other small, straight tool to gently release the bale-clasp handle if you cannot
reach it with your fingers.
Step 3 Grasp the SFP on both sides and remove it from the interface card.
Cabling for Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules
Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface cards connect to the network through various
supported small form-factor pluggable modules (SFPs). Cabling requirements vary by SFP. See the
“Cabling for Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules” section on page 6.
For information on cabling requirements for various small form-factor pluggable modules (SFPs)
supported by the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card, see Table 35.
