Fiber-Optic Connector Cleaning
For proper performance of PICs that use SC fiber-optic cable, you must clean the fiber-optic
transceivers before inserting SC cable.
transceivers before inserting SC cable.
Because of the high sensitivity of fiber-optic PIC receivers, you must keep the PIC connectors
clean and free of dust. Small micro-deposits of oil and dust in the canal of the SC connector
could cause loss of light, reducing signal power and possibly causing intermittent problems
with the optical connection. Figure 93 shows the oil and dust that collects in the SC
connector canals.

Keep the connectors clean using an appropriate fiber-cleaning device, such as RIFOCS Fiber
Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions for the cleaning kit
you use. Figure 94 shows the proper cleaning procedure.

After you have cleaned the optical transceiver area of the fiber-optic PIC, make sure that the
SC connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean.
