To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in the QFX Series:
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.
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. If the optical transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver.
4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way
in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius.
Bending the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and
cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not
allow fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening
point.
