The Cleaning Procedure:

Dry Cleaning

ATTENTION! Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected

fibres or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical

instruments.

Note the following:

• Before cleaning the optical connectors on the OMU it is advisable to clean the

connector of the mating cable being attached to the optical port.

• An unclean optical connector is often the cause for reduced system performance. A

bit of dust or oil from a finger can easily interfere with, or block light. Fortunately, it

is very easy to clean the connector. Be sure to use the correct procedure for the

given connector. When disconnected, cap the SC/APC connector to keep it clean and

prevent scratching the tip of the ferrule.

• Use a product specially designed for the purpose, such as the Cletop type S Cassette

Cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Always make sure there is a way of inspecting the connector after

cleaning. Cleaning can actually leave the end-face in a worse condition, since alcohol

residue is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove.

1. Begin by dry cleaning the F/O

bulkhead connector (shown below is

the Fujikura One-Click in use).

Remove the protective cap from the

cleaning-head end of the “One Click”

cleaner, lift the protective end-cap on

the fibre connector and offer-

up the

end to the fibre connector

3. With the cleaning-

head end fully

engaged in the

connector, push until

an audible “click” is heard

4. Without fully withdrawing the cleaning

head end push it in again twice more,

each time until an

audible “click” is

heard.
