Page 119: Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors
Appendix B Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors The fiber optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter. The end of the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the plug. Light signals are transmitted through the core of the fiber. Even minor smudges or dirt on the end face of the fiber, completely invisible to the naked eye, can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure of the component or of the entire system. -
Page 120: Using A Cartridge-Type Cleaner
Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner Fiber optic cartridge cleaners are available from many vendors and are typically called “cartridge cleaners.” An example is shown in Figure 22. Figure 22. Cartridge Cleaner Note Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic connector. - Page 121 AT-ANC10S/2 Adapter Installation and User’s Guide Note Rub the ferrule tip on the cleaning surface in one direction only. 3. When you reach the end of the cleaning surface, pick up the ferrule tip, rotate and place it at the top and rub downwards at least 2 times.

Page 122: Using A Swab
Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors Using a Swab Specially treated swabs, known as stick cleaners, are available for cleaning inside connector adapters or hard-to-reach ferrule tips. These swabs, often referred to as “lint free” or “alcohol free” swabs, are available from many vendors. - Page 123 AT-ANC10S/2 Adapter Installation and User’s Guide 3. If a fiber inspection scope is available, use the scope to inspect the connector to make sure that it is clean and to check for scratches, pits, or other problems that may affect performance.
