Precautions for receptacle contamination
● Clean tissues must be prepared for deployment on site. You need to clean the
optical connector before inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the
receptacle against the contamination.
Use at least three cleaning tissues. Wipe the end of an optical connector horizontally
in one direction, and then move the connector end to the unused part of the cleaning
tissue to continue. Generally, one cleaning tissue is used for cleaning an optical
connector.
● To prevent contamination, the optical module should be covered with either a
dust cap or an optical connector.

● Lay the optical bers on the Optical-ber Distribution Frame (ODF) or coil
them up in a ber management tray. Make sure that the optical bers are not
squeezed.
