Maintaining Transceivers and Fiber-Optic Cables
Transceivers and fiber-optic cables must be kept clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and
prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should
be below 0.35 dB.

be below 0.35 dB.
Consider the following maintenance guidelines:
•
Transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that
is connected to the grounded chassis.

Clean the connectors regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment.
In addition, clean connectors if they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and dry
cleaning techniques can be effective; refer to your site’s fiber-optic connection cleaning procedures.
