Online Insertion and Removal

Cisco 7600 series router SIPs and SPAs support online insertion and removal (OIR). SPAs can be

For more information about performing OIR, refer to the

Optical Device Maintenance

Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole
system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which
can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take
before making fiber-optic connections.
