How to clean connector
interfaces
Be careful when using pipe-cleaners, as the core and the bristles of
the pipe-cleaner are hard and can damage the interface.
Do not use pipe-cleaners on optical head adapters, as the hard core
of normal pipe cleaners can damage the bottom of an adapter.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the interface by pushing and pulling a new, dry pipe-cleaner into the
opening. Rotate the pipe-cleaner slowly as you do this.
2 Then clean the interface by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the surface
using a small circular movement.
3 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the interface:
1 Moisten a new pipe-cleaner with isopropyl alcohol.
2 Clean the interface by pushing and pulling the pipe-cleaner into the opening.
Rotate the pipe-cleaner slowly as you do this.
3 Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
4 Clean the interface by rubbing the cotton-swab over the surface using a small
circular movement.
5 Using a new, dry pipe-cleaner, and a new, dry cotton-swab remove the alcohol,
any dissolved sediment and dust.
6 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
