Fiber-Opc Cable Maintenance for an MX10004 Router
To maintain ber-opc cables in an MX10004 router:
• When you unplug a ber-opc cable from a transceiver, place rubber safety caps over the transceiver
and on the end of the cable.
• Anchor the ber-opc cable to avoid stress on the connectors. When you aach a ber-opc cable
to a transceiver, be sure to secure the ber-opc cable so that it does not support its own weight as
it hangs to the oor. Never let a ber-opc cable hang free from the connector.
• Do not bend ber-opc cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending the cables beyond their
minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause problems that are dicult to diagnose.
• Frequent plugging and unplugging of ber-opc cables in and out of opcal instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Aach a short ber extension to the opcal
equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by the
short ber extension. This extension is easier and less expensive to replace than the opcal
instruments.
• Keep ber-opc cable connecons clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reducon in signal power, and possibly intermient
problems with the opcal connecon.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate ber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber Opc
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the direcons in the cleaning kit you use.
Aer you clean the transceiver, make sure that the connector p of the ber-opc cable is clean. Use
only an approved alcohol-free ber-opc cable cleaning kit such as the Cletop-S® Fiber Cleaner
™
.
Follow the direcons in the cleaning kit you use.
