Purpose
Prerequisites
Use a fiber optic inspection kit or equivalent equipment that may contain the following items: 200x video microscope Video monitor Adapters for connectors and receptacles Instructions for the use of the kit components
General
It is recommended to inspect and clean the receptacle on the faceplate port before inspecting the connector on the cable end. Note: Do not inspect or clean the optical device connections found on the printed circuit boards, also referred to as cable routed connections. These connections are made and tested at the factory.
Step 1
Procedure Disconnect any power to the fiber-optic device before inspection or cleaning. Danger: Possibility of personal injury. Never look into the end of an optical fiber while optical power is being applied to the fiber. When cleaning or taking measurements, avoid eye exposure to open-ended fibers and optical connectors. The fibers and connectors may be connected to a laser transmitter. Use a microscope and video monitor when inspecting the end-face. If this is not a first-time inspection, gently disconnect the fiber-optic connector from the receptacle. Using the inspection kit, inspect the receptacle. If the receptacle is contaminated, clean the receptacle. See DLP-101, Clean the Fiber Optic Receptacles.

Purpose
This procedure provides the instructions to clean the fiber optic receptacles.
Prerequisites
Clean fiber-optic devices in a dust-free environment. The following materials are needed: Optical grade stick cleaners (swabs) that have a tightly wrapped tip (1.25 mm, 2.50 mm and 4.0 mm). A can of contaminant-free compressed air (dry nitrogen) for removing dust from the receptacles. Do not use commercially compressed air or house air.
Anti-static, zipper-locked plastic bags (do not use pink anti-static bags). Input/output plugs for receptacles.
4-5
Step 1 2 3
Procedure Review the General safety and operations information for this procedure. Ensure the receptacle is inspected See DLP-100, Inspect Fiber Optic Devices. Dry clean the receptacle using a dry stick cleaner. Insert the stick in the receptacle and gently rotate it, making three full rotations and using a lifting/plucking motion each time you stop to re-grip the stick. Use a new stick for each port. Re-inspect the receptacle.
If the receptacle fails the inspection, and it appears the contaminant can be dislodged using canned compressed air, apply a short burst of air to the end-face to remove the contaminant. Note: Do not allow the extension tube of the can to touch the bottom surface of the receptacle.
Re-inspect the receptacle. 5 6 If the receptacle fails the inspection, repeat Step 3 and Step 4 several times. If the receptacle fails the inspection, wet clean the receptacle using a stick cleaner saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol. Put the stick in the receptacle and gently rotate it, as described in Step 3. Remove any alcohol residue using a dry stick cleaner. Re-inspect the receptacle. 7 If necessary, repeat cleaning and inspecting several times or until the receptacle passes the inspection. Note: 8 9 Typically you should not use a receptacle that does not pas inspection. However, only a live test informs you if the connector cannot be used.
