Removing an SFP or XFP transceiver
10 T-BERD/MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual
The transceiver is inserted. Be certain to replace the rubber
cover on the SFP or XFP when it is not in use.
Removing an SFP or XFP transceiver
To prolong the life of your transceivers, leave the SFPs or
XFPs you intend to use most frequently in the instrument until
you need to replace them with transceivers designed for a
different circuit.
To remove an SFP or XFP transceiver
1 If necessary, remove the dust cover, or any cables that
are currently connected to the transceiver. If you need to
remove a cable, do the following:
a Press the release latch on the cable.
b Grasp the cable connector near the connection point.
NOTE:
Although it is possible to insert an RJ-45 SFP into a SFP
port on the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800, the instrument will issue
an error message if this is done. Insert optical SFPs into
the SFP ports. Use the fixed RJ-45 test ports for 10/100/
1000 testing.
NOTE: Laser warm up requirement
When testing 10 Gigabit optical circuits using an XFP, some
lasers (particularly 1550 nm lasers) are temperature stabi-
lized; therefore, the XFP need to reach a certain tempera-
ture before you can use them to transmit a signal. This is
expected behavior, and does not indicate that there is
something wrong with the laser or test instrument.
It typically takes up to one minute for the temperature to
stabilize. If you have turned the laser on, but no signal is
present on the receiving instrument or device, simply wait
for one minute.
