How to clean bare fiber adapters
Bare fiber adapters are difficult to clean. Protect from
dust unless they are in use.
CAUTION Never use any kind of solvent when cleaning a bare fiber
adapter as solvents can damage the foam inside some
adapters.
They can deposit dissolved dirt in the groove, which can
then dirty the surface of an inserted fiber.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt
on the adapter:
1 Clean the adapter by pushing and pulling a new, dry
pipe-cleaner into the opening. Rotate the pipe-cleaner
slowly as you do this.
