Appendix E. Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning Procedures
Cleaning Bare Fiber Adapters
Bare fiber adapters are difficult to clean. Protect from dust unless
they are in use.
Never use any kind of solvent when cleaning a bare fiber adapter as solvents
can damage the foam inside some adapters.
They can deposit dissolved dirt in the groove, which can then dirty the
surface of an inserted fiber.
Preferred Procedure
1 Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the
adapter:
Be careful when using pipe-cleaners, as the core and the bristles of the pipe-
cleaner are hard and can damage the adapter.
1 Clean the adapter by pushing and pulling a new, dry pipe-cleaner
into the opening. Rotate the pipe-cleaner slowly as you do this.
2 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the
surface using a small circular movement.
3 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
