Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the
manufacturer’s directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1. Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid
touching the cleaning surface of the wipe.
2. Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3. Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new
wipe.
4. Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5. If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 19 for back
modules, or page 20 for front modules.
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning
Using 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean
the fiber:
1. Fold the wipe into a square, about four to eight layers thick.
2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99% alcohol,
ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.
3. Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free
wipe.
4. Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe,
removing any residual alcohol.
5. Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning
with another clean section of the lint-free wipe.
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6. Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
7. If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure
until the endface is clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call
Customer Service for further instructions.
If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 19 for
back modules, or page 20 for front modules.
