Fiber Optic Connector Cleaning Procedure

Introduction

Clean fiber optic connectors can help prevent interconnect problems and therefore

aid system performance. When optical connectors are disconnected and

reconnected, the fiber surface can become dirty or scratched.

The goal of cleaning the connectors is to remove all dust and contaminants without

leaving any residue behind.

WARNING:

Avoid damage to your eyes! Do not look into any optical connector while the

system is active. Even if the unit is off, there may still be hazardous optical

levels present.

Required Materials

The following equipment is required to clean the ends of fiber optic connectors.

• Optical-grade (91%)

isopropyl alcohol

• Lint-free wipes

• Compressed air (also called “canned air”)

Tips for Optimal Fiber Optic Connector Performance

Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal connector performance.

• Connect or disconnect optical connectors only when necessary.

• Always use compressed air before cleaning the fiber optic connectors.

• Use end caps on connectors when they are not in use.

• Always use compressed air to clean the end caps.

• Use optical-grade isopropyl alcohol of at least 91% or greater. Anything less than

91% isopropyl may leave a film on the fiber surface, creating more problems.

• Do not contaminate your alcohol supply.

− Use a sprayer (a fountain pump is also adequate)

− Do not put used alcohol back into the main container

• Use only lint-free wipes. Never use “Kleenex-type” tissues.

• If you have any degraded signal problems, clean the fiber optic connector.
