6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors
The ber cable connecting the camera and the CCU transmits optical signals through 10μm core glass bers. If Ferrules, which
secure glass bers, are dirty or have dust on them, transmission loss (optical signal attenuation) occurs. If Ferrules are extremely
dirty, optical signals are interrupted and the ber cable may not work properly. Regular cleaning of Ferrules is suggested if the
camera connector is frequently removed and inserted. The gures below show the shape of the camera connector joint section,
location of the Ferrules, and how to clean the Ferrules:
