To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the PTX1000:
1. (Recommended) Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by including the disable statement
at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level for the specific interface:
[edit interfaces]
set interface-name disable
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical
instruments even if the interface has been disabled.
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.
3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to the PTX1000
The PTX1000 has optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to a PTX1000, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions
for safe handling of lasers (see “Radiation from Open Port Apertures Warning” on page 148 and “Laser and
LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 149).
