Chapter 6 Cleaning & Maintenance
Each fiber connector may be polluted by dust or dirt in the operation process, which can result in
increased optical link loss. If optical receive power and output level of the receiver decline, you
should clean and maintain fiber active connector. The clean methods are recommended below:
a.
Carefully screw off fiber active connector from the adapter and avoid the fiber
active connector with laser to aim at any human body or eye.
b.
Using a nosocomial degrease alcohol cotton patch, carefully cleanse the fiber, allowing
1-2 minutes for connection to air dry.
c.
Ensure connection is properly secured to avoid damage to the fiber connector.
d.
If optical power is still low after cleaning , it is recommended to clean the other end of the
fiber optic cable. If optical power is still low after cleaning both ends, it is recommended to
use an OTDR to ensure there are no faults in the fiber run.
Notice:
1.
Avoid looking into any active fiber optic connection, as damage to the eye may occur.
Unless you are able to see both ends of the fiber cable, assume the connection is live2.
Assembly the fiber adapter in a proper way with gentle action to prevent the china tube
inside the adapter from breaking up.
