Step 4:
Update the splitter output fiber/
distribution fiber mapping label (Figure
35) on the inside of the enclosure’s door.
Good recordkeeping is imperative for an
orderly installation.
Step 5:
When you need to mate these
connectors refer to the section, “Route
Splitter Output Fibers to be Connected
Now” on page 23.
15. Connector Care and Cleaning
Figure 35
WARNING:
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable with a flashpoint at 54ºF. It can cause irritation to
eyes on contact. In case of contact, flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation
of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations has a narcotic effect,
producing symptoms of dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and
possibly death.
• Always keep dust caps on connectors and adapters when not in use.
• Ensure dust caps are clean before reuse.
• Use optical cleaning materials as standardized by your company.
• Clean the connector before every mating, especially for test equipment patch cords
(jumpers).
• A minimum level of cleaning is listed below. Local procedures may require more rigorous
cleaning methods.
Step 1:
Remove plugs from the connector adapter.
Step 2:
Wipe the connector ferrule twice with a lint-free wiping material moistened with
isopropyl alcohol. Then wipe across the end of the ferrule.
Step 3:
Repeat previous step with a dry wipe.
If necessary, it is also possible to access the
rear of the connector adapter compartment to
clean the connectors mated to the rear of the
adapters. Lift the handle on the swing-out panel
to disengage the latching mechanism (Figure
36). Pull the panel open to a maximum of 125
degrees. The handle will snap back to the closed
position. To close the panel, lift the handle again
and swing the panel back to its original position
inside the enclosure. Move the handle to the
closed position.
