Chapter 1 Overview
Using the Fujikura IBC Cleaning Tool
Step 4 To clean the surface, advance the white thumb wheel until you hear two hard clicks. This action moves
a continuous roll of lint-free cleaning cloth across the surface of the fibers, removing dust and other
contaminants. The cleaning tool holds enough cloth to clean well over 100 ferrules.
Note The thumb wheel makes a series of soft clicks followed by a “hard click” when turned. The hard click
is represented by six large notches along the edge of the thumb wheel. Always advance the thumb wheel
until you hear two hard clicks.
Step 5 Rotate the adapter 180 degrees to clean the remaining ferrules, as shown in Figure 1-9.
