dust. Failing to wipe a connector on dry lens paper immediately after
wiping on paper wet with 99%+ isopropyl alcohol can also lead to
condensation on the connector. Using low-grade cleaning paper or other
cloth to wipe an optical connector can leave microscopic fibers on the
optical connector Surface.
NEVER USE RUBBING ALCOHOL – it is
only about 75% alcohol and the water will contaminate the
connectors and fiber.
6.1.1 Cleaning Patch Cord or Pigtail Fiber Optical Connectors
CAUTION - LASER: Remove power before working on the optical connections.
Observe all safety precautions.
To clean optical connectors, we recommend using a
fiber optic connector cleaning cartridge. In extenuating circumstances, if a cleaning
cartridge is not available, follow these steps.
To clean the optical connector of a patch cord or pigtail:
1.
Fold a piece of unused dry lens cleaning paper twice, for a four-ply thickness.
2.
Use a drop of high-grade 99%+ isopropyl alcohol to wet part of the paper.
3.
Lay the connector on the lens cleaning paper with the tip touching the paper.
4.
In one continuous motion, pull the connector from the wet part of the paper to the dry
part.
