Installing AT-SP10TW Cables in the AT-SBx81XS6 Line Card
This procedure explains how to connect AT-SP10TW Cables to the AT-
SBx81XS6 Line Card. The cables may be used in place of fiber optic
cables and transceivers for 10 Gbps links of up to 7 meters.
Note
The AT-SP10TW Cable is only supported in the AT-SBx81XS6 Line
Card. It is not supported in the AT-SBx81GS24a Line Card.
To install the AT-SP10TW Cable, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the dust plug from the SFP+ slot chosen for the cable, as
shown in Figure 94.
Figure 94. Removing the Dust Cover From an SFP+ Slot in the AT-
SBx81XS6 Line Card
Note
Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP+ slot if you are not
installing the transceiver at this time. The dust plug protects the line
card from dust contamination.
2. Orient the connector on the AT-SP10TW cable so that the release tab
is on top, as shown in Figure 95 on page 139.
