Optical module, especially refers to the small packaged optical module that can be hot-swapped. It is the optical module that can be hot-swapped during operation and used on the device port. It is mainly used to connect the device (generally refers to the switch or router device). The electrical signal is converted into an optical signal. So how should the optical module be used?

How to use the optical module?

1. Anti-static measures
Whether it is indoors or outdoors, you must take anti-static measures when using the optical module, and you must ensure that you touch the optical module with your hands while wearing anti-static gloves or an anti-static wristband.

2. Pick and place operation
It is strictly forbidden to touch the golden fingers of the optical module when handling the optical module, and it must be handled gently to prevent the optical module from being oppressed and bumped. If the optical module is accidentally bumped during handling, it is not recommended to use the optical module again.

3. Plugging method
When installing the optical module, you must first insert it firmly, and then feel a slight vibration or hear a “pop” sound, which means that the optical module is locked in place. When inserting the optical module, close the handle ring; after inserting it, pull out the optical module again to check whether it is in place. If it cannot be pulled out, it means it has been inserted to the bottom.

When removing the optical module, you need to pull out the optical fiber jumper first, and then pull the pull handle to about 90 degrees to the optical port, and then slowly take out the optical module. It is forbidden to pull the optical module out by force.
