6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors
■ Cleaning the plug (male)
Clean the four sections: receptacle (female) on the camera head, receptacle (female) on the BS, and plugs (male) on both ends of the
fiber cable.
The following explains how to clean Ferrules using a Neutrik-opticalCON fiber cable plug (male) as an example.
1
Pull the bushing in the direction of arrow ① , and
simultaneously pull the connector housing (cable
side) while turning it in the direction of arrow ② to
remove the connector housing.
2
Wipe the Ferrule with a cotton swab dampened
with alcohol.
CAUTION:
- When you wipe the Ferrule, move the cotton swab
straight in a way in which you brush the dust off the
Ferrule. Do not wipe back and forth or in a circle.
Doing so may spread the dirt instead of removing it.
- Do not carelessly blow your breath on the Ferrule.
3
After wiping the Ferrule with alcohol, wipe the
Ferrule with a dry cotton swab.
4
Make sure that the dirt is removed.
Use a loupe to examine the Ferrule.
5
Make sure the ferrule is clean. Then, fit the
connector housing (terminal side) and the cable
guide. Insert the connector housing (cable side)
while turning it in the direction of arrow ③ .
