Handling fiber optic cables
This section provides protection and cleaning methods for fiber optic connectors.
Contamination of the fiber optic connectors on either a transceiver or a cable connector can impede
the transmission of data. Therefore, protecting the connector tips against contamination or damage
is imperative. The tips can be contaminated by touching them, by dust, or by debris. They can be
damaged when dropped. To protect the connectors against contamination or damage, use the dust
covers or dust caps provided by the manufacturer. These covers are removed during installation, and
are installed whenever the transceivers or cables are disconnected. Cleaning the connectors should
remove contamination.
The transceiver dust caps protect the transceivers from contamination. Do not discard the dust covers.
