5.1.2 Pusher Block cleaning
Pusher Block contamination incurs poor splice quality due to irregular pressure
apply to the fibers Thus, it is important to frequently inspect and regularly clean it.
5.1.3 Cleaver cleaning
If the cleaver’s blade and rubber pads are contaminated, the cleaving quality may
deteriorate. In turn, the splice loss rate can be consequently increased. Thus, clean
the cleaver blade and rubber pad frequently using a cotton swab moisten by alcohol.
This is critical to keep the cleaved quality of the fiber. (Do not use acetone or solvent
when cleaning the rubber pad.)
