Fiber Adapters or Circuit
Pack Connectors
During testing and/or trouble shooting activities it may be necessary to
clean the optical buildout adapter or the circuit pack connector. The
following procedure is recommended
CAUTION
Do not attempt to clean ports equipped with yellow Light guide
BuildOut (LBO) attenuators. Attenuators contain a thin glass
lens that is extremely fragile. The LBO will be damaged if
cleaned using this method.
Step 1
Using the appropriate CLETOP stick cleaner (2.5 mm for SC, ST, and
FC connectors, 1.25 mm for LC connectors) dampen the stick cleaner
with Ethyl alcohol using the alcohol wipe. Insert the stick cleaner into
the adapter rotating the stick 360 degrees while inserting. Push/rotate
stick until the stick cleaner makes contact with the connector. Apply
slight pressure upon contact and rotate stick 360 degrees at least three
(3) times.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 2
Remove the stick cleaner rotating it upon removal.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 3
Using a dry CLETOP stick cleaner of appropriate diameter, repeat the
above cleaning procedure. This procedure will clean the side walls of
the adapter and the endface of the circuit pack connector.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 4
Gently insert the Video Fiber Scope probe into the port until the fiber
ferrule comes into view.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 5
Verify that the fiber ferrule is clean. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 if the
fiber does not meet the requirements specified in Connector Inspection
(page -9).
