Lantronix N-GXE-xx-02 User Guide Installing SFP Modules and Fiber Cables The N-GXE-SFP-02 has a 100/1000MBps open SFP cage for connecting fiber-optic cable. See the SFP manual for important cautions and warnings. To install the SFP into the N-GXE-SFP-02 SFP cage: Warning: • Visible and invisible laser radiation when open: DO NOT stare into the beam or view the beam directly with optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness. • Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. 1. Locate the SFP to be used. 2. Position the SFP with the SFP cage. Caution: It is recommended that you do not install or remove the SFP module with fiber-optic cable attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module. 3. Insert the SFP fully into the cage. 4. Position the LC fiber cable at the SFP. 5. Insert the LC fiber cable end completely into the SFP. 6. Connect the LC cable at the far end device. Removing SFP Modules and Fiber Cables To remove the SFP from the N-GXE-SFP-02 SFP cage: 1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare-metal grounded surface. 2. Have a replacement SFP or a transceiver-cage plug ready, as well as an antistatic mat and a rubber safety cap for the SFP. Caution: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius; any arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. 3. Disconnect the LC cable for the SFP. 4. Pull the bale clasp handle out from the SFP to unlock the SFP. 5. Grasp the SFP bale clasp and pull the SFP approximately 0.5 in (1 .3 cm) out of the cage. 6. Using your fingers, grasp the body of the SFP and pull it completely from the cage. 7. Insert the rubber protector, shown right, into the SFP module to protect it. 8. Place the SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment. 33748 Rev. C https://www.lantronix.com/ 9
