2. Use clean, dry, oil-free compressed air to remove any residual dust from the connector.
3. Use a magnifying glass or inspection microscope to inspect the ferrule at angle. Do not look directly into
the aperture. If you detect any contamination, repeat the Step 1 and Step 2 indicated above.
For more information about cleaning fiber-optic connectors, as well as SFP/XFP transceivers, see Inspection
and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections.
Type RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Cables
For an Ethernet line card equipped with copper SFP transceivers, use an EIA/TIA–568-compliant cable with
MDI wiring and RJ-45 connectors (see the below figure) to connect your Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to
another router or switch.
EIA/TIA–568-compliant cable with MDI wiring and RJ-45 connectors are available from a wide variety of
sources. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems, Inc.
Note
To comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,
Revision 01, February 1999, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to copper SFP transceiver ports.
The shielded cable is terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable shield material tied to
both connectors.

Removing and Installing RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Cables
This section contains information on removing and installing RJ-45 copper cables to connect your router to
another router or switch.
Installing RJ-45 Cables
Insert the RJ-45 connector into an open port until the connector clicks and locks into place. Attach one cable
between each line card interface and the device to which the line card is connected.
Removing RJ-45 Cables
To remove line card cables, follow these steps:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap to your wrist and follow its instructions for use.
2. Disconnect the interface cable connectors from the line card interface ports.
