Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers
Warning
Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect the cables before
installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Note
Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9132T switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded
with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for
the switch.
The Cisco MDS 9132T switch supports SFP transceivers with the following types of latching devices:
• Mylar tab latch
• Bale-clasp latch
