6.7 Replacing Optical SFP Transceiver Modules
RTM-6310 provides Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for accepting replaceable
155-Mbps SFP optical transceiver modules (single-mode) for STM-1/OC-3 PSTN
interfaces. These SFP modules are hot-swappable (i.e. they can be plugged in or pulled out
while the power is on).
Caution Laser
Laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the SFP transceiver modules
when no cables are connected. Therefore, avoid exposure to laser radiation by
ensuring that you insert dust / EMI plugs into SFP transceiver modules to which
no cables are connected. Do not stare into open SFP cages (i.e. plugs yet to be
inserted).
Notes:
• This section is applicable only to RTM-6310.
• To prevent contamination of the internal components and to optimize electromagnetic
interference (EMI) performance, it is recommended that a protective dust plug be
inserted into SFP cage assemblies when no transceiver module is present (see the
figure below).
• Use an ESD wrist strap or similar grounding device when handling SFP transceivers
or when coming into contact with modules.
