Isopropyl alcohol takes approximately ten seconds to evaporate.
Since isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure, evaporation will leave
microscopic residues. Make sure you dry the surfaces before
evaporation occurs.

With a dry lint-free wiping cloth, gently wipe the same surfaces in
order to be sure that the connector and ferrule are perfectly dry.
5.
Throw out the wiping cloths after one use.
