Patch Cord Connector General Cleaning Process
To clean the patch cord connector, please follow these steps:
- Inspect the fiber connector, component, or bulkhead with a fiberscope.
- If the connector is dirty, clean it with a dry cleaning technique.
- Inspect the connector.
- If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique.
- Inspect the connector.
- If the connector is still dirty, clean it with a wet cleaning technique followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the endface.
Note: Wet cleaning is not recommended for bulkheads and receptacles. Damage to equipment can occur.
- Inspect the connector again.
- If the contaminate still cannot be removed, repeat the cleaning procedure until the endface is clean.
