CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.

Remove a QSFP28 Transceiver
Before you remove a transceiver from a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions
for safe handling of lasers (see
Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings
).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat
• Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
• A dust cover to cover the port or a replacement transceiver
The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or disrupting the device
functions.
