Small form pluggable insertion/removal tool

摘要

A SFP tool can include a tool body with an installer key slidingly engaged with the tool body and/or an extractor key slidingly engaged with the tool body. The installer key can include one or more port engagers at a distal end of the installer key to engage with one or more corresponding ports in a SFP for installing the SFP into a SFP slot in a networking device. To remove a SFP from a SFP slot of a networking device, a bail engager pivotally coupled to an extractor key at a distal end of the extractor key can be engage and unlock a bail on the SFP. The SFP can be removed by moving a extractor key handle away from the networking device and/or the pressure can be applied to the extractor key handle and the SFP tool can be pulled away from the networking device.
