5.4.3 Cleaning the Fiber Connector Ends and Front-panel Optical Ports
To obtain a good quality optical input signal, optical fiber input ports and fiber connector ends must be
carefully cleaned.
Figure 5-4
When cleaning the optical fiber-connector end, remove the dust cap and then use a lint-free cloth
dampened with a static dissipative solvent to clean the angled surface. Dry the surface using a dry lint-
free cloth.
To clean the front-panel optical port, use a special lint-free swab that is designed for this purpose.
Dampen it with a static dissipative solvent. Apply slight pressure to the internal angled surface of the
optical port, while rotating the swab 90 degrees back and forth. You may need to remove excess
solvent using a dry lint-free swab. Alternatively, a cleaning pen such as the one click cleaner can be
used.
