Cable Cleaning Procedure
CAUTION!
NEVER use isopropyl alcohol on any fiber connection. If not thoroughly cleaned and dry,
isopropyl alcohol can leave residual material on the fiber core, which can interrupt
signal flow.
Use only MultiDyne-recommended cleaning products designed for fiber optic cable
connections. MultiDyne recommends Sticklers Fiber Optic Connector Cleaner and
Benchtop Clean Wipes. For in-depth cleaning, MultiDyne recommends Bulkhead Ferrule
Cleaner tool.
Do not scrub the fiber against the wipe. This can cause scratches to the fiber connection.
In addition, do not reuse wipes as residual dirt can be transmitted to other cable
connections.
Use a fiberscope to inspect the LC connectors for dirt or damage.
• If cable connection is damaged , check the connection at both the camera unit and the base unit
• If cable connection is dirty :
o Fold a lint-free Sticklers Benchtop Clean Wipe into a square.
o Moisten one section of the wipe with a small amount of Sticklers Connector Cleaner.
o Lightly wipe the connector end.
o Dry using the other end of the wipe.
o Repeat this procedure using a fresh wipe for the other cables that need to be cleaned.
Re-inspect the LC connectors using a fiberscope to be sure connection has been cleaned.
For more in-depth cleaning, use the Bulkhead Ferrule Cleaner device.
