Port Connection Guidelines
Depending on the chassis and installed line cards, you can use Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus
(QSFP+), QSFP28, SFP, SFP+, CFP-DCO, and RJ-45 connectors to connect the ports on the line cards to
other network devices.
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, Cisco recommends that you keep the transceivers disconnected
from their fiber-optic cables when installing the transceiver in the line card. Before removing a transceiver
from the router, remove the cable from the transceiver.
To maximize the effectiveness and life of your transceivers and optical cables, do the following:
• Wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that is connected to an earth ground whenever handling transceivers.
• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and insertions
• Keep the transceivers and fiber-optic cables clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and to

be kept below 0.35 dB.
• Clean these parts before installation to prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.
• Clean the connectors regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment.
In addition, clean connectors when they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and
