optical equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by the
short fiber extension, which is easy and inexpensive to replace.
Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Small microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector could cause loss of light, reducing signal power and possibly causing intermittent
problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceivers, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device, such as RIFOCS Fiber Optic Adaptor
Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.
After you clean an optical transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean.
Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit, such as the Opptex Cletop-S Fiber
Cleaner. Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.

the component does not receive or transmit data while its cable is disconnected.
To remove a cable:
1. If the component connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each cable and
transceiver.
2. If removing all cables connected to the component, use one of the following methods to take the
