To Clean the Optical Connectors on the Modules

To clean the optical connectors on the modules, first use the
procedure given under "To Clean Bulkhead Connectors".
If a connector is very dirty or the procedure above does not make
it clean, use this procedure:

wipe made for fiber optic connectors.
Use a video probe to inspect the connector. If necessary, clean

and inspect the connector again.
If the connector stays dirty, use a wipe that is moist with

optical-grade solvent to clean the endface. Dry the ferrule
with a dry wipe.
If the OTDR Port Connection Quality gauge for
the OptiFiber Pro module stays in the Poor range
after you clean the OTDR connector, remove the
adapter from the module and inspect the adapter
for damage. Make sure that the white plastic ring
inside the center tube shows no damage.
