• Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Attach a short fiber extension to the optical
equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by the
short fiber extension, which is easier and less expensive to replace than the instruments.
• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power, and possibly intermittent
problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber Optic
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.
After cleaning the 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 Cletop-S® Fiber Cleaner.
Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.
