The installation of a SFP transceiver is quite
simple. However it is highly advisable to read
the installation manual in order to familiarize
with the module and follow the various tips
regarding the installation of the module.

How to install a SFP transceiver?
 SFP transceiver follow these simple steps
Always attach an ESD preventive wrist strap and
follow its instructions. The other end of the
strap should be attached to a recommended place
on the rack. Before inserting the SFP
transceiver into the designated port always close
the Bail Clap mechanism. Carefully slide the SFP
transceiver into the respective port.
6
Verify that the SFP transceiver is securely
inserted and seated in the port. Remove the dust
plug only when you are ready to attach the fiber
optic cable. Do not remove the dust plug before
as this will limit the transmission performance
because dust can easily block the optical light.

BlueOptics SFP transceiver with Bail Clap
Machanism
As CBO BlueOptics SFP transceivers use the Bail
Clap latching mechanism we will mainly focus on
this type of latching mechanism. The Bail Clap
SFP module has a Clap that is used for securing
the SFP transceiver in the port. This makes the
type of SFP transceiver easy to be identified
through different colors.

Additional General rules for the installation of
a SFP transceiver
SFP transceivers, the general rules are
9
Always wear an ESD preventive strap. This strap
can either be attached to your wrist or your
ankle. ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge.
This is a sudden flow of electricity between two
electrically charged objects. The buildup of the
static electricity can be caused by an
electrostatic induction. Do NOT remove the
protective dust plugs beforehand. Always remove
them when you are ready to connect the cables.
Dust will eventually cause attenuation.
10
Always protect the open port of the device with a
dedicated module cage cover. It is highly
recommended to always refer to the datasheet or
user manual of any new SFP transceivers to
familiarize with its properties and the latching
mechanism. As there are many manufacturers
offering their SFP transceivers on the market,
they use different latching mechanisms and
different latching mechanisms have different
installation and removal procedures.
