LASER 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 a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
4. Remove the cable connector from the transceiver.

Use needle-nose pliers to pull the ejector handle out from the transceiver.

the router.
7. Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver, and pull it the rest of the way out of the router.
