CAUTION: Do not let ber-opc cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.
Disconnect a Fiber-Opc Cable from an Opcal Transceiver on an
MX10004 Router
Before you disconnect a ber-opc cable from an opcal transceiver installed in an MX10004 router,
ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons for safe handling of lasers (see "Laser and LED
Safety Guidelines and Warnings" on page 253).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• Rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
• Rubber safety cap to cover the ber-opc cable connector
To disconnect a ber-opc cable from an opcal transceiver on an MX10004 router:
1. (Recommended) Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by including the disable
statement at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level for the specic interface.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a ber-opc transceiver or into the ends
of ber-opc cables. Fiber-opc transceivers and ber-opc cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
LASER WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with opcal
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
2. Carefully unplug the ber-opc cable connector from the transceiver.
3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a ber-opc transceiver uncovered except when
inserng or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
