Fiber Optic Cleaning Procedures

 

 

The basics of cleaning are simple. Use a pure grade of isopropyl alcohol on a clean cotton swab to wipe off the endface and ferrule. (While other devices and methods also work, this one is easy, problem free, and inexpensive.)

 

After the wet scrub, wipe off the wet endface with a dry swab, or blow it off with filtered, non-residue compressed air. As the following figure shows, leaving the fluid to air dry will leave behind the dissolved oils in little puddles which will interfere with the correct physical contact. Then, when reinserting the cable into the connector, insert it gently, in as straight as possible. Tipping, and inserting with an angle, can scrape off material from inside the connector or even break the inside sleeve of some connectors made with ceramic material.

 

It is pretty often that a cable or connector may require more than one cleaning. If the performance seems poor, clean again. Often the second cleaning will restore the proper performance where the first did not. The idea is that the first step is to gently remove any grit and oil using the alcohol as a solvent. Remove the solvent by blowing it off or using a gentle dry wipe.

Then if there is a caked-on layer of material still present (such as can happen if the beryllium-copper sides of the ferrule retainer gets scraped and deposited on the endface during insertion of the cable), the second cleaning should be harder, with a scrubbing action. But if scrubbed first, grit can be caught in the swab and become a gouging element.

 

A system is only as good the weakest link. Don’t let the connector become a failure because of poor attention. Use fusion splicers on the more permanent critical nodes. Choose the best connector possible. Check and measure the connector’s return loss often, for degradation. Clean every connector, every time.
