Clean Fiber-Optic Components
Perform this procedure as directed in this publication and when
connecting or disconnecting fiber-optic cables from port optical
transceivers (if necessary). To clean fiber-optic components:
1. Obtain the appropriate tools (portable can of oil-free compressed
air and alcohol pads) from the fiber-optic cleaning kit.
2. Disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the transceiver. Use
compressed air to blow any contaminants from the connector as
shown in part A of Figure 4-20.
— Keep the air nozzle approximately 50 millimeters (two inches)
from the end of the connector and hold the can upright.
— Blow compressed air on the surfaces and end of the connector
continuously for approximately five seconds.
