Removing a Cable from an SFP Transceiver
When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this can compromise the fiber optic termination in the connector.
Caution
If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before
continuing.
Caution
To remove the cable, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector from
the transceiver.
Step 3
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 4
Insert a dust cover onto the end of the cable.
Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers
Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend disconnecting cables before installing
or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Warning
Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9132T switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded
with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements
for the switch.
Note
The Cisco MDS 9132T switch supports SFP transceivers with the following two types of latching devices:
•
Mylar tab latch
•
Bale-clasp latch
