Attach the Optical Network Cable
• Grasp the optical connector only by the housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
Note The transceiver modules and fiber connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Note
The multiple-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors on the optical transceivers support network interface cables
with either physical contact (PC) or ultra-physical contact (UPC) flat polished face types. The MPO connectors
on the optical transceivers do not support network interface cables with an angle-polished contact (APC) face
type.
Note
Inspect the MPO connector for the correct cable type, cleanliness, and any damage. For complete information
on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see the
