Cleaning and Inspecting Fibers and Ports
The dry cleaning technique recommended is secribed below:
Step 1 If required, remove the pluggable transceiver from the interface cage of the
module.
Step 2 Place the transceiver on a clean and static-free area, such as an antistatic
mat.
Step 3 If required, remove the dust cap from the optical port of the transceiver and
store it in a small resealable container.
Step 4 Do not use alcohol-based cleaning sticks. Use dry cleaning sticks. Insert a
lint-free cleaning stick of the appropriate size and turn it around with caution.
Do not apply too much force. This can be done at a maximum of three times.
Step 5 Remove the stick and throw away the used stick. Never reuse a stick.
Step 6 If no optical fiber cable is reconnected, cover the transceiver port with the dust
cap to avoid contamination. Always keep the dust cap inserted in the
transceiver port when not in use.
Step 7 Always make sure that the fiber-optic connector that will be plugged into the
transceiver port is also clean — to prevent cross contamination.
Note
Properly dispose of any used cleaning material after use.
