Cleaning MPO-Type Connectors
Cleaning MPO-Type Connectors
MPO-type connectors are fixed on your unit and can be cleaned using a
multifiber mechanical cleaner.
To clean an MPO-type connector using a multifiber mechanical
cleaner:
1. Insert the cleaning tip into the optical adapter, and push the outer shell
into the cleaner.
Note: The cleaner makes a clicking sound to indicate that the cleaning is done.
2. Verify connector surface with a Fiber Inspection Probe (for
example, EXFO’s FIP).
WARNING
Never look directly into a live fiber. It could cause serious eye
damage. Always use your FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe.
