Connecting Interface Cables to MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers
To connect the physical interfaces to the network (see Figure 41 on page 100):
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the component. For MIC cable
specifications, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
2. Remove the rubber safety plug from the cable connector port.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable
connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and
prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
