SFP Modules
Removing an SFP module
Keep the connection clean!
The physical interface between two optical fibers is the critical point in a fiber system. The two
fibers must be accurately aligned – that’s the job of the connector plugs and bulkheads – and be
in intimate contact with no obstructions. That’s the job of the user. The small size of the fiber,
and the even smaller size of the fiber core, means that even common dust particles can seriously
impair the transfer of light from one fiber to another.
There are a variety of cleaning solutions available to help the fiber user maintain good fiber
network performance. For best results, it should be possible for the user to perform a visual
inspection of the fiber ends to verify cleanliness.
Miranda strongly urges all users to select a cleaning method that meets their needs, and to use it
rigorously and consistently.
A few tips:
•
Always use a dust plug in an empty fiber receptacle, to keep airborne particles from settling
on the fiber end
• Keep your dust plugs clean – a sealed container is a must.
• Always follow the instructions carefully when cleaning – abrasions on the fiber ends can
degrade system performance significantly
•
A visual inspection will ensure that particles and liquid residue have been removed
If it’s still dirty, clean it again!
