b) Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the
connector from the transceiver.
c) Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 3 Remove the transceiver from the port:
• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
• If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downwards, and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP transceiver, reseat the SFP by returning the bale
clasp to the up position. Press the SFP inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp
and pull the SFP straight out with a slight upward lifting force. Be careful not to damage the port
cage during this process.

Step 4 Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver on an antistatic mat or into a
static-shielding bag if you plan to return it to the factory.
Step 5 If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting a clean cover.
