For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.
For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.
When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable.
If the module has a Mylar tab latch, pull the tab straight out so that you remove the SFP module from
the port in a parallel direction. Do not twist or pull the tab because you could disconnect it from the
SFP module.
