Overview
Purpose
This appendix describes the Alcatel-Lucent recommended method for the cleaning and
inspection of optical connectors using specific tools and materials that have been proven to
be effective in the assembly and testing of optical transmission equipment. It is critical that
connector faces are clean and free from particular contamination to assure proper
performance and reliability of lightwave systems. With the modern high speed, high
power, and wider bandwidth optical transmission systems, clean connectors along the
optical path are essential for successful operation.
