Prerequisites

• You need a lens-grade, lint-free tissue, or example, Kimwipes.

• You need an optical-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (98% or more pure).

• You need a high-quality canned compressed air with extension tube.

Compressed air must be free of dust, water, and oil, or filmy deposits or scratches on the

surface of the connector can result.

• You need a fiber optic microscope to inspect connectors.

Warning:

Risk of eye injury

When inspecting a connector, ensure that light sources are off. The light source used in fiber

optic cables can damage your eyes.

To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when working with the canned air

duster.

To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl

alcohol.

Procedure steps

1. Remove dust or debris by applying canned air to the cylindrical and end-face

surfaces of the connector.

2. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a tissue dampened with

optical-grade isopropyl alcohol.

3. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a dry tissue.

Important:

Do not let the IPA evaporate; wipe it dry immediately. Alcohols can leave a residue

that is difficult to remove.

4. Dry the connector surfaces by applying canned air.

5. Inspect the connector to ensure it is clean and undamaged.

To prevent contamination, do not touch the connector surfaces after cleaning; and

cover connectors with dust caps if you are not going to use them right away.

Cleaning duplex connectors

Clean connectors so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the connector.

This procedure is appropriate when you suspect more than dust contamination.
