How to clean bare fiber adapters
Bare fiber adapters are difficult to clean. Protect from dust unless they
are in use.
C A U T I O N
Never use any kind of solvent when cleaning a bare fiber adapter as
solvents can:
• Damage the foam inside some adapters.
• Deposit dissolved dirt in the groove, which can then dirty the
surface of an inserted fiber.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt Use this procedure when there is greasy dirt on the adapter:
1
Clean the adapter by pushing and pulling a new, dry pipe cleaner
into the opening. Rotate the pipe cleaner slowly as you do this.
C A U T I O N
Be careful when using pipe cleaners, as the core and the bristles of
the pipe cleaner are hard and can damage the adapter.
2 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton swab over the
surface using a small circular movement.
3
Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
