Cleaning the OTDR Connector

Typically, the OTDR connector requires cleaning
only if it has been touched.
Use a dry, optical-grade wipe to clean the OTDR
connector. Figure 3-1 shows how to remove the OTDR
adapter to access the connector ferrule.
The OTDR port connection quality screen helps you
determine when the OTDR connector needs cleaning. See
page 3-14.
If the connector is very dirty, wipe the end of the ferrule
with an optical-grade wipe lightly moistened with 99 %-
pure isopropyl alcohol. Dry with a dry wipe.
