6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors

6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors
The fiber cable connecting the camera and the BS transmits optical signals through 10μm core glass fibers. If Ferrules, which
secure glass fibers, are dirty or have dust on them, transmission loss (optical signal attenuation) occurs. If Ferrules are extremely
dirty, optical signals are interrupted and the fiber cable may not work properly. Regular cleaning of Ferrules is suggested if the
camera connector is frequently removed and inserted. The figures below show the shape of the camera connector joint section, and
how to clean the Ferrules:
