Maintenance of Fiber Optics

Fiber optic connectors and cables can be damaged from airborne particles,

humidity and moisture, oils from the human body, and debris from the connectors

they plug into. Always handle connectors and cables with care, using the

following guidelines.

Before performing any maintenance, disconnect

the fiber optic cables from the unit and turn off

power.

When disconnecting fiber optic cables, apply the

included dust caps to the ends to maintain their

integrity.

Before connecting fiber optic cables, clean the

connector tips and in-line connectors.

Before attaching in-line connectors, clean them

with moisture-free compressed air.

Failure to perform these tasks may result in

damage to the fiber optic connectors or cables.
