How to Use Wipes, Swabs, and Solvent

Caution
To prevent damage to connectors and to keep
contamination off of endfaces:
 Always discard wipes or swabs after you use them.
 Do not let solvent dry on an endface. Some solvents
leave a residue after they dry.
 If you must use alcohol as a solvent, make sure you
use 99%-pure, anhydrous alcohol.
To Clean Bulkhead Connectors
1 Use a video probe to inspect the connector. If it is dirty,
continue to step 2.
2 Touch the tip of a fiber optic solvent pen or swab soaked in
solvent to a lint-free dry wipe or fiber cleaning card.
3 Touch a new, dry swab to the solvent spot on the wipe or
card. Push the swab into the connector, twist it around 3 to 5
times against the end-face, then remove and dispose of the
swab.
4 Dry the connector with a dry swab by twisting it around in the
connector 3 to 5 times.
5 Use a video probe to inspect the connector. If necessary, clean
and inspect the connector again.
