Cleaning Tips
To access the OPM Port
• Unscrew the adapter cap from the adapter cap mount.
Cleaning the Exposed Ferrule or the OPM port
Use lint-free optical cleaning wipes such as AFL FiberWipes and optical quality cleaning uid such
as AFL FCC2 connector cleaning uid.
Note: If using isopropyl alcohol (IPA), be sure to use 99% pure IPA that has not been
contaminated.
• Dampen a portion of the wipe with the cleaning uid.
• Gently wipe the exposed ferrule (OPM port) starting with the wet section of the wipe and
pulling it to the dry section.
– Note: Starting with the wet cleaning and nishing in the dry improves cleaning action,
reduces static buildup, and nishes with the end-face dry.
