Cleaning Connector Receptacles
LASERRADIATIONWARNING
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or
connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical
instruments.
General Cleaning Process
1. Verify that you are properly grounded with an anti-static wrist strap or heel strap
connected to the grounded ESDjack.
2. Verify the operating status of the equipment and the current hazard level. If any
module in the system is operating in Forced On mode, it can affect on the NEhazard
level.
LASERRADIATIONWARNING
Laser Radiation is present when the equipment is open and the interlocks
are defeated. Avoid exposure to the beam.
3. Clean the fiber-optic connectors, as described in Cleaning Fiber-optic Connectors,
before you plug them into the receptacles.
4. If the optical receptacle is contaminated, carefully insert the extension tube of the
compressed air can into the optical receptacle, and then blow dry, oil-free air into the
connector. Avoid touching the adapter receptacle.
5. Carefully reconnect the optical connector plug and make sure it functions properly. If
the performance is insufficient, repeat the cleaning procedure.
If problems persist after you repeat the cleaning process, replace the
optical module. Return the removed module to ADVA Optical Networking
Technical Services.
6. If no optical fiber cable is reconnected, cover the connector receptacle with plugs to
avoid contamination.
