Cleaning Camera Connectors - Ikegami HDK-790GX Operation Manual

6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors

The ber cable connecting the camera and the CCU transmits optical signals through 10 m core glass bers. If Ferrules, which
secure glass bers, are dirty or have dust on them, transmission loss (optical signal attenuation) occurs. If Ferrules are extremely
dirty, optical signals are interrupted and the ber cable may not work properly. Regular cleaning of Ferrules is suggested if the
camera connector is frequently removed and inserted. The gures below show the shape of the camera connector joint section,
location of the Ferrules, and how to clean the Ferrules:
