CAUTION

An fiber optic connector is used when connecting two fiber optic cables. When con- nectors such as these are used, it is important that they be connected correctly.

If a connector is misconnected, or cleaned incorrectly, it can be damaged. If the Fiber optic connector is dirty or damaged, data transmission may become errorprone and/ or unstable.

Attention

•It is necessary that the connectors be fixed in the correct position, in order to protect the connector interface against external influences.

•Connection quality is influenced by two factors: the type of connector and whether it is properly cleaned and connected. Optical losses are often caused by dirty fiber connectors. Always keep your connectors clean and protect them with a dust power plug or cover if they are not being used.

•Before connecting any cables or connectors, use an lint-free alcohol pad (included in the cleaning kit) to clean the ferrule, the protective tube, and the end of the fiber core. If a large light loss is detected, and the cause is not immediately clear, clean the connector as a first attempt to resolve the problem.
