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.
