Attention

•An fiber optic connector is used when connecting two fiber optic cables. When connectors such as these are used, it is important that they be connected cor- rectly.

•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 error- prone and/or unstable.

•It is necessary that the connectors be fixed in the correct position, in order to pro- tect 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.
