To Clean Optical Connectors 
 
 
Warning: 
 
Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other 
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
 
 
Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a 
transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible 
laser radiation. 
 
 
Avoid personal injury! Viewing the laser output (if a transmitter) or fiber 
cable with optical instruments (such as eye loupes, magnifiers, or 
microscopes) may pose an eye hazard.
 
 
 
Do not apply power to this equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated. 
 
Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect 
light emitted from an unterminated fiber. 
 
Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicable 
laser safety requirements. 
Important: Ensure that no optical power is present prior to this procedure. 
1  Turn optical power off to the connector. 
2  Using an optical connector scope, inspect the connector for scratches, burns, or 
other signs of damage. 
Note:  If the connector is damaged, replace the jumper. 
3  If the connector requires cleaning, swipe it across the face of the appropriate 
ferrule cleaner several times. This will remove dust and some films. 
Note:  You may hear a slight "squeak" while cleaning the connector, indicating 
that it is clean. 
4  Inspect the connector again. If the connector requires further cleaning, clean it 
using 99% isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free wipe. 
5  Swipe the connector across the face of the appropriate ferrule cleaner several 
more times to remove any film left by the alcohol. 
6  Repeat all the steps above as needed until the connector is clean.
