Adva FSP 3000 - Prerequisites; Required Tools and Equipment

Prerequisites
Pairs of connectable fiber-optic jumpers of different lengths and types are delivered with
each equipment shelf. They are color coded and labeled according to usage.
Optical module ports (receptacles) and fiber-optic connectors are susceptible to become
contaminated. The fiber end face and ferrule of the fiber optic connectors must be
absolutely clean and smooth, and must not display scratches or cracks to achieve
correct fiber connections. Microscopic dust particles, finger oils, or any other loose
contaminants on the fiber end faces can cause a number of performance problems in
optical networking if contamination is not completely removed prior to first or any mating
the connectors. Mating a dirty fiber-optic connector can cross-contaminate the receptacle
of the module and/or can permanently damage both end faces of the fibers.
Consequently, the two mated connectors have to be replaced. Therefore, please
remember that visual inspection, cleaning, and re-inspection of the fiber optic connectors
are all important steps which must be performed before you make any fiber-optic
connection. Even brand new fiber-optic connector and receptacles needs to be
inspected.
