PUSH ON OPTICAL CONNECTOR If this is not enough, then clean the interface by rubbing a lint-free lens cloth over the surface using small circular movements. Connector Wear: Fiber Optic Connectors usually have a design life of around 1,000 insertions before they are worn out. So, if your instrument has had considerable use, the removable connector adaptor may be worn out, and need replacing. -
