There are different types of SFP transceivers, but all share the same form factor. For additional information on SFP transceiver types, including recommended cabling distances, see Appendix B. This section provides a procedure on how to correctly install SFP transceivers in the module port socket. Caution We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP transceiver with fiber-optic cables attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP transceiver. Disconnect the network interface cable before removing or installing an SFP transceiver. SFP transceiver modules can have three types of latching devices to secure the SFP transceiver in a port socket: • Figure 3-10 shows an SFP transceiver with a Mylar tab latch. • Figure 3-11 shows an SFP transceiver with an actuator button latch. • Figure 3-12 shows an SFP transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch. Determine which type of latch your SFP transceiver uses before following the installation and removal procedures. 3-14 Catalyst 6500 Series Ethernet Modules Installation Guide OL-6265-03

Installing SFP Transceivers
SFP transceivers provide an interface between an optical or copper network and the switching module.
There are different types of SFP transceivers, but all share the same form factor. For additional
information on SFP transceiver types, including recommended cabling distances, see Appendix B. This
section provides a procedure on how to correctly install SFP transceivers in the module port socket.
Caution
We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP transceiver with fiber-optic cables
attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces
in the SFP transceiver. Disconnect the network interface cable before removing or installing an SFP
transceiver.
SFP transceiver modules can have three types of latching devices to secure the SFP transceiver in a port
socket:
Figure 3-10
shows an SFP transceiver with a Mylar tab latch.
Figure 3-11
shows an SFP transceiver with an actuator button latch.
Figure 3-12
shows an SFP transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch.
Determine which type of latch your SFP transceiver uses before following the installation and removal
procedures.
