A.2 Cleaning fiber optic cables
To clean fiber optic cables, follow the procedure below.
The fiber optic cable uses a laser beam. (Laser beams are colorless
and transparent, and invisible to the eye.) Never look directly into the
optical transceiver.
Step 1
Use an air duster to remove dirt and dust from the tip of the connector.

Do not use an air duster that contains flammable gas near a flame.
Doing so could result in fire.
CAUTION
Use an air duster specially designed for cleaning optical connectors.
Using another type of air duster could cause the ferrule tip to become
dirty.
CAUTION
Keep the nozzle or container of the air duster from coming into contact
with the ferrule tip. Contact could result in a malfunction.
NOTE
For instructions on how to use the air duster, see the documentation
for the air duster.
Step 2
Use an optical connector cleaner (reel-type) to clean any dirt from the ferrule tip.
