Important:

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

that is difficult to remove.

5. Blow dry the connector surfaces with canned air.

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

7. Using care to not touch the clean ferrules, gently push the shroud back onto the

connector until it seats and locks in place.

Cleaning receptacles

Clean connector receptacles or ports so that the optical signal is minimally attenuated by the

connection.

Prerequisites

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

• You need cleaning swabs (also called cleaning sticks or wands).

• 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.

Caution:

Risk of equipment damage

To avoid contamination, optical ports must only be cleaned when there is evidence of

contamination or reduced performance, or during their initial installation.

To prevent oil contamination of connectors, use only high-quality canned compressed air.

Do not allow the air extension tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.

Procedure steps

1. Remove dust or debris by blowing canned air into the optical port of the device using

the canned air extension tube.

2. Clean the optical port by inserting a wand moistened with alcohol into the receptacle

and rotating it.

Each cleaning wand must only be used to clean one optical port.

3. Dry the optical port by inserting a dry wand into the receptacle and rotating it.

Important:

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

that is difficult to remove.
