► Clean both sides of every connection point (bulkhead connectors, patch cords, and
OLP-87 ports) prior to connections. If equipped, use the P5000i Fiber Microscope to
test the end-faces.
► Focus fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the end-face.
► If it appears clean, run inspection test.
► If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test. Repeat until it passes.
