• When inserting a fiber-optic cable into a connector:
• Gently insert it in as straight a line as possible. Tipping and inserting
at an angle can scrape material off the inside of the connector or
even break the inside sleeve of connectors made with ceramic
material.
• Ensure that the fiber end does not touch the outside of the mating
connector or adapter.
Cleaning
If flammable fluids are used to clean connectors, the fluid shall not be
placed on the instrument during use or when connected to mains
voltage. Cleaning the connectors shall take place in ventilated area to
allow fluid vapors to dissipate and reduce the risk of fire.
Keep all fiber-optic connectors clean using professional fiber-optic
cleaning products. Many products are available and are easily located via
an Internet search on "fiber optic cleaning products". You can purchase
tools designed specifically for the type of fiber-optic connector that you
are using. For the 24-fiber MPO interface, purchase one for an MTP
connector.
Fiber Optic inspection scopes are available which can give a very clean
view of the fiber end and even provide some analysis capability.
Always remove both ends of fiber-optic cables from any instrument,
system, or device before visually inspecting the fiber ends. Disable all
optical sources before disconnecting fiber-optic cables. Failure to do so
may result in permanent injury to your eyes.
