• Frequent plugging and unplugging of ber-opc cables in and out of opcal instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Aach a short ber extension to the opcal
equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by the
short ber extension, which is easier and less expensive to replace than the instruments.
• Keep ber-opc cable connecons clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reducon in signal power, and possibly intermient
problems with the opcal connecon.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate ber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber Opc
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the direcons in the cleaning kit you use.
Aer cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector p of the ber-opc cable is clean. Use
only an approved alcohol-free ber-opc cable cleaning kit such as the Cletop-S® Fiber Cleaner.
Follow the direcons in the cleaning kit you use.
