module.
Keep the protective dust plugs installed in the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and in the
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
Inspect and clean the MPO connector end faces just before you make any connections. See the Tip
following step 2 in the next procedure for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white
paper.
Grasp the MPO connector only by the housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
For the CPAK-100G-SR10 module, the multiple-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors use network
interface cables with either physical contact (PC) or ultra-physical contact (UPC) flat polished
face types. The CPAK-10X10G-LR module can only use network interface cables with the
angle-polished contact (APC) face type (typical of singlemode fiber MPO assemblies).
