Juniper Networks IDP SERIES IDP250 - Manual (Page 48)

To connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable to a transceiver:
1. Hold the cable clip firmly but gently between your thumb and forefinger with your
thumb on top of the clip and your finger under the clip. Do not depress the clip ejector
on top of the clip.
2. Make sure the transceiver ejector under the port is not pressed in; otherwise, if you
attempt to remove the cable the transceiver might come out with the cable still
attached.
3. Slide the clip into the transceiver port until it clicks into place. Because the fit is close,
you may have to apply some pressure to seat the clip. Apply pressure evenly and
gently to avoid clip breakage.
