If the cleaned connector cannot be immediately connected to a
corresponding adapter, the connector ferrule must be protected with a
connector dust cap. Before placing the cap on the ferrule, make sure
the cap is clean. This can be accomplished by inserting a CLETOP
stick cleaner (swab) of the same inside diameter as the cap (either 2.5
or 1.25 mm) and rotate the stick 360 degrees three (3) times.
Following this procedure, carefully place the cap over the ferrule.
When the cleaned connector is ready for assembly, it should be
re-inspected for cleanliness prior to connection.
