Optical Transceiver Removal and Replacement
Your troubleshooting and diagnostics might reveal that the optical transceiver
component of a 10GbE optical physical interface card needs to be replaced.
The optical transceiver serves two functions:
• C
onverts electrical signals into optical signals used to communicate with
other optical networking equipment.
• Se
rves as the receptacle for the LC duplex fiber optic connectors.
Optical transceivers are hot swappable and may be replaced while the Acme
Pack
et 6100 is powered on. Leave the NIU in the Acme Packet 6100 as you
extract the optical transceiver.
To obtain a replacement optical transceiver, contact your sales representative
directly.
