Warning!
It is possible to tighten the knurled collet without aligning the lug and gap. This will result in
poor light transmission. Check that the lug and gap are aligned before tightening the knurled
collet.

2.2.2.2 E2000/APC
To connect E2000/APC optical connectors, simply push the connector positively into the receptacle
until a click is heard. The protective shutter will automatically lift as the connector is mating.
To disconnect E2000/APC connectors, depress the lever on the connector to disengage, then withdraw
the connector from the receptacle. The shutter is spring-loaded and should spring back to protect the
ferrule.
Care and Cleaning
The optical connectors should be cleaned before each and every use , even where they have been
protected with dust caps.
Cleaning items required
• Lint free fibre cleaning tissues and/or cleaning sticks(normal cosmetic tissues produce dust and are
not acceptable);
• Reagent grade Iso Propyl Alcohol;
• Air duster or FILTERED compressed air line.
Cable Connector Cleaning
• Dampen a patch of cleaning tissue with IPA and clean all surfaces of the plug ferrule.
• Using a dry cleaning tissue, dry the ferrule and polish the end face.
• Using the air duster, blow away any residue from the end of the connector.
Module Female Receptacle Cleaning (only recommended if problems are being experienced)
• Either use a cleaning stick or twist a cleaning tissue to form a stiff probe, and moisten with IPA.
Gently push the probe into the receptacle and twist around several times to dislodge any dirt.
• Repeat the above process with a dry tissue.
• Using the air duster, blow away any residue from the receptacle.
