5. Connect the cable to the SFP:
CAUTION: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than is 2 inches under full tensile
load and less than 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical
cables because they are easily overtightened.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the
slot in the SFP.
b. Insert the cable into the SFP until the latching mechanism clicks.
SFPs are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If one does not install easily, check the orientation.
For instructions specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
6. Verify that the SFP is functioning correctly.
Enter sfpShow at the command line prompt to view SFP status. Enter sfpSupport for a list of
supported SFPs. For more information about these commands, see the
