Overview The fiber optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter. The end of the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the plug as shown in Figure 46. Light signals are transmitted through the core of the fiber. 177 Ferrule Figure 46. Ferrule in an SC Connector Plug Even minor smudges or dirt on the end face of the fiber, completely invisible to the naked eye, can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure of the component or of the entire system.
AT-2701 Series Fast Ethernet Adapter Installation Guide Cleaning Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner PUSH OPEN Di re c A PEng TAWipi tion Fiber optic cartridge cleaners are available from many vendors and are typically called “cartridge cleaners,” as shown in Figure 48. Figure 48. Cartridge Cleaner Note Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic connector. To clean a fiber optic connector using a cartridge cleaner, perform the following procedure: 1.
Note Rub the ferrule tip on the cleaning surface in one direction only. 3. When you reach the end of the cleaning surface, pick up the ferrule tip, rotate and place it at the top and rub downwards at least 2 times.
