Problem Description

The problem vendor's SFP has a mechanical bug which causes the device to get stuck once plugged into the 15454-GE-XP= card.

If a customer has a spare Excelight device and tries to plug it onto the 15454-GE-XP= card, the SFP will get stuck.

Note: The latest revision of the Excelight SFP does not have the issue.

Background

During the mechanical qualification test for release 8.0 and the 15454-GE-XP= card, it was found that the 10-2273-01 (ONS-SE-G2F-LX=) supplied by Excelight gets stuck into the 15454-GE-XP card cage.

Problem Symptoms

The problem only appears when the Excelight 10-2273-01 SFP is plugged into the 15454-GE-XP= card.

Workaround/Solution

These SFP's cannot be reworked. They will need to be returned for replacement through the normal RMA process.
