Cleaning LC/SC/MPO-24 Connectors

Under normal circumstances the cleaning of the LC/SC/MPO-24 connector
is not required. However if the connector shows signs of debris or
contamination, cleaning may be required.

To clean a LC/SC/MPO-24 connector
1.
Use a clean dry air (CDA) or a air gun to blow out the dust or

contamination.

2. Re-inspect the connector. For MPO-24 optical connector, re-inspect the

connector under magnification to make sure that it is clean.

3. If the connector is still not clean, use a commercial cleaner

recommended by the CFP/CFP2 manufacturer.

Note: Refer to the transceiver manufacturer for more detailed cleaning

recommendations and instructions.
