Cleaning Connector Receptacles
3. Inspect the connector with a hand-held fiber scope or video scope (Inspecting Fiber-
optic Connector and Receptacle End Faces).
4. If the dry cleaning procedure did not remove the dirt from the fiber end face, place one
drop of 99% alcohol to lightly moisten a new lint-free swab. Do not oversaturate the
swab.
Have a dry lint-free swab available for drying immediately after the
cleaning. Make sure that drying swab stays clean.
5. Lightly press and turn the dampened swab to clean the ferrule face.
6. Immediately after cleaning, lightly press and turn the second swab (dry) to dry any
remaining alcohol from the ferrule face.
7. Properly dispose of the wet and dry swab. Never reuse a swab.
8. Inspect the connector again.
