Cleaning SC or LC Connectors
You can clean the connectors of your unit using a mechanical cleaner.
To clean a connector using a mechanical cleaner:
1.
Insert the mechanical cleaner into the optical adapter, and push the
outer shell into the cleaner.
Note:
The cleaner makes a clicking sound that indicates that the cleaning is done.
2.
Verify connector surface with a fiber inspection probe (for example,
EXFO’s FIP).

Before cleaning the connectors, you should suspend the tests to
