To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the QFX Series:
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.
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.

Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable
Juniper Networks devices have optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin to disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure that you have taken
the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
