To remove SFP modules:

Guidelines For Using Fibre Optic Cables
•
Do not route the cable along a folding cable management arm.
•
For devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cables so they do not bend to a diameter of less
than 76 mm (3 inch), or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5 inch), when extended or become pinched when
retracted.
•
Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in the rack cabinet.
•
Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.
•
Do not over-tighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3 inch) or a
radius less than 38 mm (1.5 inch).
•
Do not place excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure that the cable is well
supported.
