8. Cleaning Instructions
8.1 LC Connector
1. Dampen a wipe with isopropyl alcohol (>91% 2-pr water).
2. Clean the end of the ferrule with the dampened wipe.
3. Blow the ferrule dry with canned air.
Caution: Signal performance will be affected if the connector tip is not thoroughly cleaned.
8.2 Adapter
1. If access to the adapter is only available from one side, use canned air to blow inside of
adapter.
2. If access is available from both sides of the adapter, clean the adapter with the LC adapter
brush moistened with alcohol followed by canned air. The brush can be cleaned with alcohol
and canned air.
Warning: Do not try to clean adapter with a standard pipe cleaner. The LC’s sleeve inner
diameter is too small. Also, do not try to clean the adapter with LC adapter brush
if a connector is mounted in the adapter.
