How to Clean Connector Ends

Touch the tip of an optical-grade solvent pen or swab
soaked in solvent to a dry, optical-grade wiper.
2
Rub the connector endface across the solvent on the wiper,
then rub it two times across the dry area of the wiper.

A different procedure is necessary to clean some
connector styles (for example, VF-45).
Always put protective caps on connectors you do not use. At
intervals, clean the caps with a swab or wipers and fiber optic
solvent.
