To Clean Connector Ends
1
Use a video probe to inspect the connector. If it is dirty,
continue to step 2.Touch the tip of a fiber optic solvent pen or
swab soaked in solvent to a lint-free dry wipe or fiber
cleaning card.
2
Rub the connector endface across the solvent spot, then back
and forth once across the dry area of the wipe or card.
Typically, one or two short strokes (~1 cm or ~0.4 in) are
sufficient to dry the endface.
3
Use a video probe to inspect the connector. If necessary, clean
and inspect the connector again.
Notes
For APC connectors, hold ferrule against the
cleaning area at the same angle (typically 8°) as
the ferrule endface.
For some connector types, such as VF-45, it is
necessary to use a different method to clean the
endface.
