Safety warnings
Never view an energized optical cable with the naked eye or with an optical magnifying
instrument. Disconnected or separated optical connectors may emit invisible laser
radiation and direct exposure can severely injure the eye. If inspecting the endface of a
connector with a fiberscope, be absolutely certain that the system is deactivated.
Alcohol is flammable and is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Keep alcohol away from heat, sparks, or flame. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing.

Cleaning/inspecting optical connectors

Introduction
The procedure that follows utilizes the "Wet/Dry" method for connector cleaning. This
method first applies a "wet" solvent such as high purity alcohol to the connector endface
to dissolve/remove any organic particulate or oily films, followed by a "dry" double clean
wipe using the CLETOP cleaning cassette.
