Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a TCX1000 Device
The TCX1000-RDM20 and the TCX1000-2D8CMD have optical connectors to which you
can connect fiber-optic cables.
CAUTION
HAZARD LEVEL 1M LASER RADIATION
DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH
NON-ATTENUATING OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
Before you disconnect a fiber-optic cable, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
“Laser Safety Warnings for Class 1M Juniper
Networks Devices” on page 167 ).
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical connector installed:
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic connector or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic connectors 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.
Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the LC connector. The port will
be automatically disabled when the cable is removed.
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic connector uncovered except when
inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean
and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
