Maintenance of Fiber Optics
Fiber optic connectors and cables can be damaged from airborne particles,
humidity and moisture, oils from the human body, and debris from the connectors
they plug into. Always handle connectors and cables with care, using the
following guidelines.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect
the fiber optic cables from the unit and turn off
power.
When disconnecting fiber optic cables, apply the
included dust caps to the ends to maintain their
integrity.
Before connecting fiber optic cables, clean the
connector tips and in-line connectors.
Before attaching in-line connectors, clean them
with moisture-free compressed air.
Failure to perform these tasks may result in
