Clean Optical Fibers, Connectors,
and Lightguide Buildouts (LBOs)
1.
!
WARNING:
Unterminated optical connectors may emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid
direct exposure to the beam. Do not view beam with optical instruments.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE:
All optical fiber connectors (SC, FC/PC, and
ST
®
types), LBOs, and
buildout blocks or equivalent should be cleaned before making initial
connections or reconnections per the following instructions. Only the
components being assembled at this particular time should be cleaned.
NOTE:
Keep all dust caps and plugs in place until time to make connections.
Clean optical fibers and connectors on OLIU or LBOs.
If 22D-U/22F-U/22F2-U/22G-U/22G2-U/2G3-U/22G4-U/26G-U/
26G2-U/28G-U/28G2-U/ 29G-U/29H-U OLIU using universal
LBOs, proceed to Step 2.
If in-line LBOs, proceed to Step 10.
If lightguide fibers, proceed to Step 16.
2. Remove lightguide connector from buildout (if necessary).
3. Remove LBO from buildout block by unlocking tab and pushing in and turning
in counter-clockwise direction (if necessary).

4. Clean the end and the sides of the connectors, buildouts, and blocks with a
lint-free, optical quality tissue dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
5. Carefully wipe the connector, buildouts, and blocks again with a clean, dry,
lint-free optical quality tissue.
6. Blow any lint or dust from the connectors, buildouts, and blocks using canned
air held at least 3 inches (8 cm) away.
