Maintenance of Splicing Quality
1-2.
Cleaning Fiber Clamp Chips
If contaminants are present on the clamp
chips, proper clamping may not occur,
resulting in poor quality splices. The fiber
clamp chips should be frequently inspected
and periodically cleaned during normal
operation. To clean the clamp chips, do the
following:
(1) Open the wind protector.
(2) Clean the surface of the chip clamp
with an alcohol-impregnated thin
cotton swab. Remove excess alcohol
from the chip clamp with a clean dry
swab.
1-3.
Cleaning Wind Protector Mirrors
If the wind protector mirrors become dirty,
the fiber core position may be incorrect
due to decreased optical path clarity,
resulting in higher splice loss. To clean
the mirrors, do the following:
(1) Clean the mirror surface with an
alcohol-impregnated thin cotton
swab. Remove excess alcohol from
the mirror surface with a clean dry
swab.
(2) Mirror should look clean with no
streaks or smudges.
1-4.
Cleaning Fiber Cleaver
If the cleave blade or clamp pads of the fiber
cleaver become contaminated, the cleaving
quality could degrade. This may lead to fiber
surface or end-face contamination, resulting in
higher splice loss. Clean the cleave blade and
clamp pads with an alcohol-impregnated thin
cotton swab.
