Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+) and the fiber
cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect
and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems, such as reducing
the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When
not using an SFP or SFP+ connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
