Safety Precautions When Using Cisco GLC-SX-MM-CX :

• Avoid Direct Exposure to Laser Light:

  • Fiber optic transceivers use lasers to transmit data. Direct exposure of laser light to the eyes can cause permanent damage.

  • Never look directly into the fiber end connected to the module or point it toward anyone’s eyes.

• Power Off the Device When Installing or Removing the Module:

  • To prevent electric shock or damage to the module and device, power off the equipment if possible, or properly use hot-swappable procedures.

• Physical Protection:

  • The SFP module is delicate; avoid dropping, bending, or applying excessive force.

  • Handle carefully during installation or removal to avoid damaging pins or connectors.

• Use Connector Dust Caps:

  • When the fiber is not connected to the module, always keep the dust cap on the connector to prevent dust or debris from entering and disrupting data transmission.

• Observe Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions:

  • Modules are highly sensitive to static electricity. Use an anti-static wrist strap before handling the module or touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static.

• Keep Connectors and Fiber Clean:

  • Dust and dirt on fiber connectors can degrade signal quality or cause failure. Use proper fiber cleaning tools to maintain cleanliness.

• Avoid Using in Harsh Environmental Conditions:

  • Do not place the module in very humid, dusty, or extreme temperature environments. Such conditions can reduce the lifespan and performance of the module.
