OPTICAL CONNECTORS & CLEANING
4. Optical Connectors & Cleaning
The QFMN device is available with either SC/APC (green) or SC/UPC (blue) style optical connectors. The optical connector
is located on the rear of the unit. Be sure to only mate the same style connectors. Mating APC with UPC-style connectors can
cause undesirable results. Fiber connectors should never be left uncovered due to the possibility of contamination.
Commercially available fiber cleaning products are easily available (such as pre-packaged alcohol wipes, Kimwipes
®
, etc.) and
should be used to ensure that the fiber connections are free of any contaminants.
