re-insert it back into the ceramic sleeve. Re-secure the ferrule by rotating the
retaining ring (2) clockwise, being careful not to overtighten the ring. Note that
over time the connector will wear, but they can be refurbished. Replacement
jumper cables and jumper/buffer fiber assemblies are also available.
For more thorough cleaning, remove the coupling module assembly and gel car-
tridge (2-7) from the 1120F base (8) or the 1120M/P end cap (9) by unscrewing
the adapter (4) from the base/end cap. Next, loosen the retaining ring (2) and
pull apart the ferrule assembly (5,6) and gel cartridge (7) should slide out of the
end cap/base (some gentle pressure on the end of the gel cartridge may be
required). All parts, except for the cartridge, can be cleaned with 100% isopro-
panol. Complete immersion in an ultrasonic bath is optimal.
If a fiber happens to break off inside the ferrule assembly use the 112X-CLK
Ferrule Cleaning Kit to clear the fragment. Simply insert the cleaning ferrule
included in the kit into the ferrule assembly (2,3,4,5) as shown below left, and
then feed a cleaning wire into the ferrule barrel and through both the cleaning
and aligner ferrules to push out any fiber fragments.
If a cleaning ferrule is not available, it is possible to use just a cleaning wire to
clear fiber fragments. First, disassemble the coupling module to access the
aligner ferrule (5). Then grip a cleaning wire very close to its end (3-4 mm) and
feed the wire into the ferrule as shown below. Note that some initial resistance
may be encountered due to the recess surrounding the ferrule bore (right).
