Installing or Removing Cables into SFP Transceivers
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do
not bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension in the
cable.

Removing a Cable from an SFP Transceiver
When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.
Caution
If the cable cannot be easily removed, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before
continuing.
