Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a Router
The router has field-replaceable optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the router, ensure that
you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
“Laser and LED Safety Guidelines
and Warnings” on page 290 ).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
•
Rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the router:
1. (Recommended) Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by using 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 emitted by an interface 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.
