Raise the clip, insert the fiber connector, and then lower the clip over the connector. IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the dust cap from the fiber connector until it is connected to the input port. When using the sliding guide, put the fiber connector in the clip and slide it in from the rear to the front, through the chassis. Ensure that the optical fiber tail does not become trapped or pulled tightly.
This will allow fiber cables to be moved away from the sliding guide rails. Use the Fibre Guide Tool to organise the cables and wires in the fibre tray to prevent tangles and the blocking of the guide rails. Fiber tray area Cut-outs technetix.com...
5.4.3 Cleaning the fiber connector ends and front-panel optical ports Connection terminal Head face To obtain a good quality optical input signal, optical fiber input ports and fiber connector ends must be carefully cleaned. When cleaning the optical fiber-connector end, remove the dust cap and then use a lint-free cloth dampened with a static dissipative solvent to clean the angled surface.
Before testing, the optical power meter must be calibrated. Before measuring optical signals, verify the interfaces are clean and undamaged. technetix.com...
