Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement
Before making any fiber optic cable mating connections and after every
de-mating cycle, use an industry standard fiber optic cleaning kit,
including oil-free compressed air, to clean the fiber connectors and the con-
nectorized fiber end faces. This helps ensure optimum performance of the
fiber optic interface. Industry standard fiber optic cleaning kits can be pur-
chased on the web and in electronics stores.
